Stevens Model 80 shooting gallery pump 22cal.

[1911crazy]

I picked this stevens model 80 gallery pump rifle over a year ago.  I would hardley function when i ran the action.  I sprayed it with some PB blaster and let it soak and now she is starting to loosen up.  She's a weird looking pump rifle afterall its the next model after the stevens model 70 visible loader. I guess next to my model 1890 winchester pump and my 1906 remington pump she is right in there age wise. Anyone collect the turn of the last century pump 22's?

I love the early 22s. Never had a mod 80 but I used to have a visible loader. Neat design but mine was in really rough shape with no rifling left. I ended up giving it to a friend. He intended to restore it but I don't think he ever did.

Don't have them anymore, wore them out, but I had a Winchester pump 1890, two 1906's (and a 1903 auto) since the mid 50's that had all been bought new by my family and handed down to me.  1890 was 1901; one 1906 was 1914, the 1903 from 1909.   Oldest 22RF's I still have is a High Standard/JCH Model 31 Auto I got new in 1959, and a HS HD Miltary Auto from 1949 I got in 1955.   But I have other handguns, rifles and shotguns from family that were made going back into the 1890's.

The old 22 pumps were great little rifles. I have a Visible loader in really nice shape, my great grandfathers Win 1890 he purchased new, my dads Win 1906, and my uncles Rem 12C. The 1906 is a 1937, the Winchester book says a lot of the 1937 rifles were built from parts inventory. I have never seen another 1906 like this one. Along the way I picked up several old Marlin 39As. All the old rifles are like me, Retired.
