Name this company
« on: February 26, 2010, 11:01:52 AM »
A Friend asked me to look at an old 22 rifle he had with open sights and a "lil" rolling block that falls back with a lever on the side to reload the rifle. Looks old, and with out taking the rear sight out of the dove tail, all I could read on top of the barrel was "_______" firearms and Tool Co. Any body recognize that name?

If there is no help I will take pictures of it and post them so we can resolve this dilemma.

Thanks in advance!

Well I did and found out that it is a Stevens "crackshot", it may be worth some money but probably only in great condition. So it may not meet that mark!

Thanks so much for the "Stevens" Tip.

The part

a lever on the side to reload the rifle
is what threw me...  I immediately thought Martini, but that's a cocking indicator on the side, not a lever to open action... and its not a rolling block action.
 Just to be a stickler, the Stevens action is a falling block not rolling block and the lever is on the bottom.

I'm gonna get some pics cause it may well be a falling block but the lever is on the right side.

Below is a picture i found on the Internet that is as best I can tell exactly like the one i held.

OS,
 My BAD, I TOTALLY forgot about that old model 26 sidelever!!!

Its not a very common model at least not around here. IMHO, Much nicer then the later M26.
