I'm afraid "mint" would not be an accurate description since is has a replaced stock.

That pack-hardened receiver does look purty though.

Absolutely Not!!!!  I have been away from this forum for a long time, (Medical reasons), and am going to try and sell all my "Stuff".  To be honest. I am having trouble trying to determine the value of a bunch of it.  As an example, I have a "T" series 9mm Hi-power that I bought New in 1967 from Art Mashburn at Mashburn Arms in OKC that has never been fired that I paid 104.00 for.  The prices I see are from 600.00 to 2250.00.  Now what ??  Stevens 414's seem to run in the 450.00 to 600.00 range that are not even close to the condition of this rifle.  I would just like a couple of good estimates.

Hard to say without more pictures and more info. Stock looks like it has been refinished with something hi gloss. Mine are not that shiny. Blueing also could be excellent original or reblue. Does it have the original rear sight. These are tough to find. Could be anywhere from $500 to $1500. Just my guess.

Thanks

I will post some good photos tomorrow.  I will assure you the rifle has not been re-blued. the bore is excellent.  Yes it has the Stevens rear sight but can't be sure if it is orginal to the gun. I still have the 414 that John fixed the tang for.

Don,

Could you include a picture of the left side of the receiver?

Thanks,

Please go to (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) and click on Album "Stevens Armory 414 Mint" to see some photos I took this morning.  There are also some pictures of this same rifle in some of the other albums.

Thanks

The case hardening on the receiver is not original.

Do you mind explaining your reasoning for this opinion??  I am open to your deduction.

I may be wrong. Do the later savage made have this kind of case hardening? I'm a little under the weather. Kind of jumped out of the stall before I was sure.

I based my opinion of earlier Stevens case hardening. This gun does not have the fish scale type of case hardening.

Sorry if I was wrong.

I have 4 of them and a couple of 44's, they all have the same type of case harding, a couple certainly much more intense than the others.  This one is is the best I have ever seen and I have been around for a little while.  As a second question, who on this forum is regarded as the "Guru" of Stevens rifles?
