Stevens model 235
Ok, last week as some may know I got a call from a lady friend who was wanting to sell a couple of her father's guns.
I bought the Marlin on site and brought home this Stevens to clean and do some research.
Well I call her back this morning to tell her what I found out.
Then made a reasonable offer, and she expected it. These were made from around 1912 to '32 in 12 ga.
Says they made 61,500.
I had to clean out the firing pins and the channels.
No pitting in the barrel I'm pretty happy.
Here ya go enjoy.

Re: Stevens model 235
I'd be pretty pleased with that acquisition, too. It really looks great -- especially like the wood on stock and forend. All the metal parts look to be in good shape, and the coloring is darn sharp-looking. Surprising that there is no pitting in the barrel at that age. That's just another plus.
But the design configuration is what I really like. Double triggers and exposed hammers....very cool !!
Nice to have a friend, who is willing to sell special guns like this one.
Congrats & Enjoy!

Re: Stevens model 235
Very nice job of cleaning and about as classic as it gets in a vintage side by side. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Stevens model 235
Well I was invited to Minnesota on a little pheasant hunt, took this ole gal along.
I did hunt with it for an hour or so, did manage to get a couple before I switched back to something a tab bit safer. RP
