It's Fifty Dollar Rifle Day!

[august1410]

Bought myself a little rifle at the local gun show. It's a pre-1948 Stevens Model 15. Can shoot .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle. It's a single shot bolt action. Decent wood stock....very little corrosion/rust...came off with a light coat of Hoppe's and a gentle hand with some 0000 steel wool.

And yes, I only paid $50 (tax included) for it.

Give ya fiddyfive dollah.

 

[AntiGun]

Nice. Good deal.
I've always been drawn to those old single shots.
Much better to spend $50 on that than more on one of the new singles.

Never thought I would see the day where the rifle was cheaper than the ammo...

I had a Mosin once....I guess I am the only person who didn't really care for the rifle. It was fun for a while.


This one has a couple of very minor dings in the wood, but it's at least 65 years old.....It looks great for the age.

They're fun, in a brutal sadistic kind of way.


A few dings ain't too bad, could always steam/iron those out if you felt so inclined.

 

[Boom Boom]

Nice. I like it a lot. You stole it for $50.

Way to go Joe.

Shotgun Joe
Consistently making us Marylanders jealous

Nice find!

 

[august1410]

Got a free holster, too. Ran into a buddy who traded his S&W 1911....didn't need the holster. It's pretty much brand new.

 

[stu929]

Sweet deal! Like the holster too.

Could prob steam out the dents reoil the stock and be good as new.

 

[Johnthetoolguy]

You made out good Joe. The holster could be worth more than $50.

 

[Dave M]

Nice one and they can be extremely accurate.

 

[shaddydan]

Gotta love cheap little ..22's. Nice find!

 

[Alea Jacta Est]

Way tago Joe...buy a lottery ticket. You lucky.

In the old days we called those cat-rat rifles. Great plinkers.
