	It is a Stevens 44 1/2, not a favorite. It is also very sad. Why can't Bubba keep his hands off of tools. If not that then work on boats, that way his ideas would simply sink and the civilized world wouldn't have to look at them.

That bottom picture sure doesn't look like the profile of my 44 1/2 Walnut Hill! Looks like a 44 action to my eyes! That extra screw on the left side, below the chamber is not found on a 44 1/2! 44 1/2 (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) 44 (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) The extra screw is found on 44 and Favorites, not the 44 1/2. That extra screw, though not common, is found on some 44 1/2s chambered in 22 RF that used the Stevens kicking extractor (ejector).

	Errhhh guys,.................. With the vast nautical wisdom acquired in the middle of Nevada, I have determined that the object on the rifle is not a palm rest. It's an oar lock. The above is why Joe hasn't said he wants it "bad".

	I had forgotten about 44-1/2s with a kicking extractor. So, having reviewed the auction pictures again, the crux for me is that the lever appears to be pivoting on a pin rather than a screw; if so, it's a 44-1/2. Bill Lawrence

	Bill, Looking at the enlarged LH and RH view pictures, my eyes don't see a screw slot in the end of the lever pin.

	Appears to be a 44 1/2. Shorter breech block, higher sidewalls, correct pins and screws with ejector.....? The rest of it........ Weird. John

	Bill, Looking at the enlarged LH and RH view pictures, my eyes don't see a screw slot in the end of the lever pin. That's the point - i.e., since there's no screw slot, the lever pivoting on a pin rather than a machine screw and the action is therefore a 44-1/2 rather than a 44. Bill L.

	Why does the right sidewall look like a 44? Cut down for access under a scope?

	The right side of the action does not look like a Stevens 44. If you will look closely you can see how the side wall on the 44-1/2 slopes upward while the 44 does not. The side wall on the 44 does not support the breech block as high as the side wall does on the 44-i/2. Gentleman, it is a 44-1/2. Live with it.

	Phil, I don't think the right sidewall has been cut down. As Long Range says, it still has the 44 1/2 "slope". And if you set a 44 1/2 rifle in your lap and rotate it to the approximate angle shown in the RH view picture, the other 44 1/2 "lines" (ignoring the buttstock, of course) seem to match up pretty well.

	"Special order" Looks like a 44 1/2 on one side and a 44 on the other. Joe.

	Looks like a 44 1/2 Parkenfarkerized by an experience HiWall Smallbore mechanic
