Dusty Morningwood Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 SOLD This is a nice example of the classic Stevens Model 44 single shot lever action rifle in .25-20SS. It is in overall very good vintage condition. The frame has some faded case colors. Block, hammer and trigger retain generous amount of blue. The 26" octagon to round barrel retains approximately 80%+ blue, turning plumb and with areas of thinning. Bore has very sharp rifling, but needs a good cleaning. There is a visible bulge in the barrel 9" from muzzle. I have been told that there is plenty of post bulge bore to stabilize the bullets. Or, this could be a great candidate to sleeve to .32-20 or even .38 Special. Sights are standard buckhorn rear and drift adjustable blade front. Stocks would rate Good + with no cracks and minor dings and scratches. A nice survivor that needs a new lease on life. Ships to C&R or FFL. Make sure your FFL will receive from private seller or add $25 to shipping for my FFL to ship. $475 SHIPPED! via USPS Priority insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheatin Charlie Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Just a heads up the rifle is chambered for 25-20 Single Shot not 25-20 wcf. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Was out shooting my antique 25-20 1892 on Sunday, a very pleasant caliber. In a lighter rifle like this one likely even better, and you wouldn't have to do a lot of searching for brass as you do with a lever gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
