Speaking of single shot rifles..

  Who would like to see a redo of either the Stevens favorite, or the Remingt6on rolling block carbine in .22 L R?

    That would be at a fair & decent price, not at a collector or antique price..

My first rifle, and shotgun, were single shots. What I remember most about that time in my life was, my envying my friends who had repeaters.

I like the old pumps, and levers, and I have a 65 year old Golden 39A.

I will however admit that my being a better shot than my friends was likely due to those old single shots.

  They are cool, but I probably wouldn't buy one for what one would cost today.

  That Stevens model 71 Crackshot was reintroduced in the 1970s, so I bought one just for kicks.  Later I gave it
   to my son, who almost as quickly, swapped it off for a gift for his girlfriend.

   Ahhh..C'est La Vie..

Don't know what a good price point would be,, but I just got a Remington Rolling Block model 4, rebarreled in .22 lr and had model 4 style Crescent arms relined in .32 S&W Long. So yep I would like to see them reintroduced. They are a hoot to shoot.

The relining cost me about $400 including shortening the barrel and some internal repairs. I traded a worn out garden tractor for the rebarrel and some other machine work I wanted.

  Good for you.. That sounds like a joy to carry, and even more fun to shoot.
 
   I have recently started a new gig for a winter project.  I check with the local gun stores, and pick up an old
    .22 rifle if they have any in stock..and refurbish them as a winter project.

  Two years ago, I refurbished a Stevens 66B "Bighorn"..tubular feed, bolt action.  It cleaned up and refinished real nice.

 Last winter, it was a Winchester 67A..single shot, long barrel bolt action, It cleaned up so well, that I am so pleased with it.  With a 27" barrel, and standard speed ammo, it is nice and quiet for "close in" shots.

  Not quite as pristine as this one, but very close..

  This winter, I have yet to do a Mossberg 15 K, a .22 auto carbine with a black plastic fold down forestock.

  I have already crowned the barrel.

  Then, when I went to see a LGS owner, who I have dealt with and have a good relationship with over many years.
   I found he had an old JC Higgins model 31, which is actually a Marlin 60 under any other circumstance.
 
   Now, Mark knows that I limit myself to $100 for any old .22 rifle, but he made it easy this time...he gave it to me..

  Time to get after those rifles now..

Do you have a photo of this rifle? I think maybe that's the one I had as a boy. I long ago let go of it and have long wondered just what the model # was. IT was a Steven's and had a letter after the model number like that. I've tried looking up various numbers I thought it might have been and 67C was one that is closest to what you mention. I never found that model so knew it was wrong, just couldn't come up with the right model.

Bill, I have some snapshots of my 66B, but I don't have the skill to put it on here.

  However, I found some photos on web that look exactly like mine..even to the black cap I painted on the front end of the stock..which I "white lined". The only big difference between this one and mine, is the weird aluminum butt plate.
  Mine has a regular black butt* plate as shown on photos #2.

  You will notice, there is a peep sight on the photos.  T-Hey came with a peep sight and are drilled/threaded for them, but many  66Bs no longer have them .  Luckily, I found one at a gun show...

  The bolt has a button on the rear that makes it look like it has to be hand cocked, but that is not so, it is self cocking as you run the bolt.
