I stopped by a gun store on my way home yesterday and found a Stevens .22 Crack shot rifle in a box in parts!!  After a few minutes and the help of my iPhone it looked like all the correct parts were there with the exception of the lever screw which was a ok replacement. From what I could see the bore looked really nice so I took a chance and for 50 bucks what did I have to loose?  I’ve been collecting the “Boys” .22 rifles for some time and rarely do I see one that has a nice bore.  Most are rusted and pitted from neglect even if the outside is half way decent. This one looked like it was used but not abused.  Anyway, got home, cleaned the parts and put it together. The bore turned out to be like new and not relined!! Comparing to what I could find on the web the rifle was made post 1929 as it had a 22 inch barrel and the SVG stamp. Shot it today and I was impressed just wish I could see better!  I need to find, make or buy the correct lever screw and it will be complete. I always love finding a new toy. Just had to share. 

I would love to post pictures but I’ve have a terrible time posting pictures on this site. I do reduce size etc and still no luck. Other sites I just upload pictures from my library and I’m done. But I’ll keep trying n

Yet another attempt to post pictures.

That's a sharp looking Stevens.  I found a pair at Jeff Lee's years ago,  your right the sights are for kids... you'll have to tell me how to shrink pics to load on here. 
Yip

Thanks for the info.  I use my Android phone,  but I'll see what I can do.
