And something I learned when I found this. I would have never guessed the .22 LR bit. Introduced in 1887!

"Stevens Arms was an American firearms manufacturer founded by Joshua Stevens in 1864 in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The company introduced the .22 Long Rifle round and made a number of rifle, shotgun, and target pistol designs. By 1902, they were advertising themselves as "the largest producers of sporting arms in the world".[1] They were purchased by New England Westinghouse on May 28, 1915, and again by Savage Arms on April 1, 1920.[2] As a division of Savage, Stevens continued to produce firearms at their Chicopee Falls facility until 1960 when the plant was torn down and Stevens production was moved into other Savage facilities. Savage dropped the Stevens name in 1991, but revived it in 1999 and still uses it today for a number of its low cost rifles and shotguns."

I don't recall seeing one of them with a checkered stock either. Hmmm, I thought Savage made them.

🤣 Well. let me guess..a Stevens 58??

Well I'll go with the Springfield 951, but I don't recall seeing one with a checkered stock. And if I remember, Stevens made the Springfield line.

How's about a Stevens 58??? Springfield 951???

I also thought Mossberg, Savage or Stevens at first, but the shape of the bolt handle has me stumped.

Aah yes, the Trailrider and only lever-action ever made by Remington.

I forgot the green stock. They weren't too popular, so they had short life compared to the others. I bought a brown one in 1960 and used it to shoot rats at a dump in NY state, just across the line from NJ. Usually went thru a brick of LRs on each trip. I also had a Marlin Glenfield 60, which I liked better than the 66. The latter felt and sounded kinda tinney to me. I traded the 66 for a Ruger MK 1 semi-auto .22 pistol.

Way too easy. Remington Nylon 66 Edit: Also came with a black stock

Cimarron is merely an importer/distributor, not a maker. Most of its stock is made in Italy. As for Norinco, imports into the U.S. were banned years ago. Not sure if that's still the case, tho. Edit: Uberti makes the majority of Cimarron's imports.

A few years ago, I regularly wrote articles for the National Shooting Sports Foundation website and print magazine. One of them was on the popularity of cowboy action shooting. I did a couple phone interviews, and attended a shoot at Ben Avery. The 97 was and probably still is a very popular gun for these shoots. I think someone is or was actually making reproductions of the 97.

😂 Kinda like a nail gun, huh? I saw one 93 that been blown apart with use of a heavy smokeless load. Fortunately, the guy didn't get hurt.

A Browning design. I can't recall if it was the 97 or 93, but when I worked at the Jewel Box we had a couple come through with a safety issue, ala like firing when the slide is racked forward? Do you know of such?

See my last reply to you.

Nah, I know it quite well -- even the "tricky" part that has no relevance here. So as I said to BO, "tangent away."

Lots of good lookin' eatin' !!!

Who is the dude in the middle? EDIT. Nevermind, I found it. Grand Duke Alexis (Russia) https://centerofthewest.org/2017/04/29/treasures-photograph-custer-alexis-buffalo-bill/

It was killed in Yellowstone, Wyoming, according to one photo caption. Thus, it would be a Rocky Mt. elk, same as here.

Custer supposedly used the same rifle to shoot this bear, but there was abit of controversy involved. This is a good article about that hunt: Who Shot Custer's Bear? Custer kneels behind a huge grizzly bear splayed out on a rock, his Indian Scout Bloody Knife close behind him on his right, one of Custer’s beloved Scotch staghounds prostate with exhaustion, and his private assistant and Colonel Ludlow to his left.

Blow-up of the action. The actual orientation of the original photo. With the exception of the dark hat, Custer, in 1873, wears the outfit he is thought to have worn at the Little Bighorn (he removed the buckskin jacket prior to the fight). He also holds a Remington Rolling Block rifle that he used in the battle. – True West Archives – From Guns magazine article: A Remington Rolling Block .50-70 Sporting Rifle possibly similar to this one was carried to the Little Bighorn Battle by Custer himself. It was never recovered. And...

IRRELEVANT - not connected with or relevant to something There is nothing in the above definition that translates to not being allowed, as in: ALLOWED - give (someone) permission to do something So to reiterate, the only RELEVANT and most important aspect of THIS incident is this: It's even repeated in B&W below the yellow, perhaps for those with color blindness. 😎 Now... tangent away.

Custer and his Rolling Block

What happened on the Kaibab is irrelevant to THIS incident. And for THIS incident, the "tricky" part of the rule is also irrelevant. The sign clearly states, "NO CAMPING." Now that might be a problem for Stevie Wonder or Helen Keller, but it shouldn't be for someone who can read English and "interpret" those two simple words.
