not a lever but interesting pump

[hfcable]

chambered in the very useful 35 remington

anybody recognize this rifle?

[JBowen]

I can't think of the name or model, but is it the one that is both a pump and semiauto? The metal at the bottom of the forearm looks familiar?
Stevens possibly?

you are on to it !! the Standard Arms pump/semi auto is the model G and they were quite unreliable. this is the model M and they were reliable.
somewhat unusual rifle.

i am finally going through my 'stuff' and taking photos and making notes about the more uncommon items, i need to do this so family will know what the heck this stuff is.

Interesting old firearm. I believe that model is the main reason 35 Rem factory ballistics are kept at low pressure.

I've seen one in the flesh somewhere or other but did not have the chance to handle it. Lots of interesting features!

Is the forend wood or bronze?
Not that I’ve seen tons of them, but the ones I’ve seen have an elaborate cast bronze handle with a moose on one side and what’s likely a bear on the other (though some think it’s a mountain lion).
Does yours have a bronze buttplate with cast in Standard Arms logo set in scrollwork?

The pump handle attachment also looks different. Is that a barrel band the pump tube is attached to the barrel with?
We can’t call it a mag tube because it uses an internal box mag and that’s literally just something under the barrel for the pump handle to ride on.

Thanks for sharing.

I love these kinds of variations because it shows that someone believed that they could make a commercial success out of a particular design. Wonderful to see the creativity and innovation.

I wish I had purchased an IMI Timberwolf in .44 Magnum when I could.

here is the buttplate and forend. yes there is a barrel band. the arrangement is a bit different than on the model G.





and Scott, i did buy an IMI timberwolf years after they stopped importing them , but it is in 357. it is a neat little gun and they have become quite valuable. bringing ridiculous amounts on the auction sites

I'm a fan of the contemporaries: the Remington Model 8s and the Winchester in .351 WSL. Always wanted to shoot a .401.

and the first lever gun for 35 remington was the Stevens High Power, a nice rifle. i have one and its a keeper. it came out about 1910.

[hfcable]

here is the Stevens High Power in 35 remeington:







it has a great bore and overall is in nice shape for a gun from the 1910 era.

you might think it looks lie the marlin, but the truth is the marlins of that vintage have a square bolt..... it is actually the later marlins that look like the Stevens !

Yes they do! I’m on the lookout for one but it may never happen.

if my son doesnt want this one , i think i will sell it. i am 76 but with severe [genetic ] health problems including low grade bone marrow cancer. at some point that will ' blow up' and i am done. could be months or could be a few years. so i am taking photos and dictating details, creating files , so my family will know what all this stuff is and will have an idea of what each item is worth. also, i have started selling a lot of this stuff just to make the task a bit easier.

some of it is like having to sell your children ,although we have a couple of boys that i have thought about selling to any traveling caravan that might be passing through.....like in the old days. heck, i might throw in some cash on the deal

[ just kidding....sort of ]

[Scott Tschirhart]

I’m sorry about your health problems. God bless you.

My son shows no interest in guns. I’m kind of sad about this but I never wanted to push them on him. He’s a lot more liberal than I think he should be and I pray that he doesn’t stay that way.

[hfcable]

both my oldest son and my daughter ,really like guns , like hunting and outdoors etc daughter has taken a couple of nice bucks and hopefully we will hunt again this fall

i have two grandkids , my daughters children , who live near us and spend at least half of their days and nights with us and have done so since they were born. the oldest, 3 year old boy, has already started shooting 22rifle ( we did some this week) and his tiny sister, 17 months olds, i will teach as well in a year or so

i gave them each a deluxe chipmunk single shot 22 on their first Christmas

hopefully some of the real treasures in my collection will pass down to them , way in the future

Scott, I know the feeling about having a liberal offspring. Our daughter is a psychologist specializing in autistic children and although she and I (and our son who is a staunch conservative) spent a lot of time outdoors and shooting when they were growing up, she is a liberal. I'm of the opinion that the more time an individual spends in the grips of a public education setting, the greater the likelihood of becoming liberal. She is married to an attorney in OKC specializing in oil and gas leases who is also a liberal. He is a great husband and father of their child or I would hold his liberalism against him. I can only hope things will change with them.

[Scott Tschirhart]

I think you are right.

The educational system seem to be an indoctrination program.

But single mothers who pass the time with other single mothers tend to gravitate toward the left side as well.
