Enjoy the pictures and reading, Mike

West book is probably the most comprhensive but hard to find at a reasonable price. Grants 5 books are good. All of the Frank de Haas books are good. The Rifle in Americia is good. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. by Vorisek is ok. The J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company  by Harold Strong is interesting but mostly old catalog reprints. Stevens Pistols and Pocket Rifles by Cope is another collection of old catalog reprints. Savage & Stevens Arms buy Kimmel is what I consider a good place to start for a beginner. First Stevens book I bought and one I still refer to a lot. A lot of Frand de Haas articles in it. It is available in paper back. I am not sure if it is currently in production but used examples should be out there at fair prices. It is possible to spend a lot of money on reference books but I always consider it money well spent. If you have any interest in Harry Pope and his Stevens barrels, The Story of Pope's Barrels by Ray M. Smith has a lot of info on it. A lot of these books cover manufacturers other than Stevens but have a lot of good Stevens info in them West, Kimmel,Voriseck, Cope, and Strong are Stevens and Savage only. Welcome!

If you buy the Kimmel book, you're wasting your money.   ...MIKE...
