    Stevens model 73 project


    Stevens model 73, the previous owner gave up on the project stating that he could not find a replacement for the lost bolt. I was able to find the bolt and refinished the rifle, I have less than $23 in the project

    I decided it needed a sling, so I made one from an old leather belt

    Funny thing this gun restoration hobby is, before getting the model 73 above, I had never heard of the model......well about two months after I finished the one above, my neighbor brings me one to refinish, someone had painted the metal parts with spray paint.

    Only needed the barrel reblued and a good cleaning, came out pretty nice

    Then another month or two later I spotted one at a garage sale for $10, it was in really rough shape, I resisted the urge to buy it
