Hoping to find out some info on this little beauty. I picked this rifle up 20 years ago for a song, and I sure can not sing.

Cal. .32 long rim fire

Wow, still in really nice shape, was the wood ever redone?

What kind of info were you looking for?

As far as I know the wood is original. Just looking for date of birth and value. The rifle was purchased from a fellow worker who's dad had passed. The fellow worker was not a gun person and did not want any firearms in his house. I also bought a 1899 30-30 in good shape ser.# 2633XX. Any info on this rifle would also be appreciated.
Thanks,

Looks like the wood has been sanded and refinished (note how the metal is proud of the wood at the tang area) but still a nice piece.

Yep, thats what I was seeing to.

What model is the 1899 in 30-30?

Can't help out on the age of the Stevens.

Mad Dog,
I really don't know what model 1899 it is, nor do I know how to tell. Here are some pictures if it will help:
As you can see the wood has been coated with shellac, and not a very good job. I am sure the rifle was used to put meat on the table.

Thats a little 99H carbine, 30-30 is a common caliber for them.

Ya, whoever did the Stevens obviously sanded the crap outta that one and re-did it probably around the same time. Nice little shooter though. Your right, it'll still put meat on the table. :)
