I recently acquired a Stevens Model 54 Shuetzen rifle from a local gun shop. It was originally .22LR and was rechambered .22-3000 Lovell in 1939. It came with a wooden box full of history. There are 20 letters between Harry B. English and Custom Gun Smith Robert U. Milhoan describing the work done on the rifle. It has a 26 inch all round barre with Stevens factory roll stampings on it. According to Gary Quinlan the model 54 was produced with 30 or 32 inch barrels only. Gary thinks it is a special order for a club or an individual back in the 1920's.He said Stevens produced a "CHEAP" all round barred rifle right after WWI.
The serial number of 6076 is on all parts of the rifle including the barrel.
It has double set triggers.
It's Beautiful engravings of a bear and an elk on either side of the receiver.
It has a raised cheek rest and Shuetzen style but plate.
It has a #5 Lyman 3/4 inch tube scope mounted on it.
It has a block of wood shaped to fit in the closed loop lever.
It is the 44 falling block action.
It has been cut down to 26 inch barrel length (BUMMER)
Guns International appraised it at $7500 but it's not for sale, I love shooting it.
There was a large wooden box that came with it that had resizing dies for 25-20 to .22-3000 Lovell .
A 1936 original Lovell hand book by B.L. Smith printed in Canada was in the box.
There are various other hand made loading tools and dies.
1 box of 38 long black powder shells probable for a Colt Lightning.
4 boxes of Remington 25 caliber rim fire shells in never opened green boxes.
