Posts: 242 07/15/09 10:46 PM	Tags : None I was given a ring by a fella a state over who ran across a Stevens 16 gauge SxS, Mod and Imp, he said was "tired and worn" but locked up tight with no gaps, the odd thing was he said it was with single selective trigger and no ser. numbers I don't know much about Stevens but was wondering if anyone on here did? I was unaware of any early ( pre ser #) Stevens SST SxS but have no reference books on them. asking price was $169 COB

Any gun that is tight and on face with sound finish on the metal and steel should be worth that if it strikes your eye. I'm not sure when they stopped stamping Stevens on the guns and started putting Savage on everything but maybe the one you looked at is from prior to the marriage of the two companies. It will probably require pictures to find out much more. On the other hand, are you trying to swipe those hammer guns away from me.

I'll bow out if you are, I am not sure I'll meet the Reserve anyway. edit: He wants $50 to ship them each, I htink that is crazy high for shipping, and why not combine them if you win both? If he had better feedback I'd bid higher but as of now i am high bidder on both, far and away from Reserve I would wager. Last Edited By: northernborn 07/17/09 10:40 AM. Edited 1 time.

I have informally window shopped for a hammer gun a couple of times but I have to have one with an external safety. As much as I walk around half-cocked I can't hunt with a gun that is. For me to use a hammer gun I would have to be able to keep the hammers fully cocked. I have seen hammer guns that have safeties and I'm not even sure if they add to or detract from the value/price. One attempt with a double barrel muzzleloader was enough for me to know that cocking hammers as part of the mount after a snipe has flushed isn't going to cut it. At least not with my shooting style.

I'm going to pass on the 16, sight unseen, it's not a favorite gauge of mine and I've 2 already that don't get much use, thanks for the info and feedback fellas.

I'm ure they will relist it, there was a fella had a PA hunter flinter on there for months relisted and relisted , time and again at a reserve beyond common sense, not sure what the end NET is with months fo relisting and listing fees with photos and all, I have sold guns on the sites and only broken even before with the fees and honest shipping. I guess i'll live with the 28 for a bit more! LOL.
