It’s always interesting to see how people keep the old rifles shooting.

Yes.   Irving Page was CEO of Stevens, New England Westinghouse forced him out when they took over the company to make military rifles in WW1.  After the war, according to one source I've read, he tried to regain control of the company but failed.  Then he and Lewis, who had been and engineer with Stevens, formed Page-Lewis, making a very well-made little swinging-block rifle.  Page died after a couple of years, and his heirs didn't want the new company, so it was sold back to Stevens, (by now owned by Savage).   

I've long believed that Page, who had been Stevens' money-man, was over-leveraged, so when Westinghouse wanted  to do a hostile takeover, all they had to do was talk to his bankers.
