RELIABLE POCKET RIFLE NO. 42-SECOND ISSUE For Sale

$0.00

The Reliable Pocket Rifle No. 42-Second Issue, produced between 1896 and 1916, showcases late 19th and early 20th-century craftsmanship and innovation. It is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and Stevens-Pope rimfire calibers and features a 10-inch barrel with a unique half round/half octagon profile, marked with “J. STEVENS & CO. CHICOPEE/FALLS, MASS. PAT. SEPT. 6, 1864.” The single-action firearm has a small iron frame with a frame-mounted firing pin, contributing to its dependability. Its precise globe and peep sights enhance shooting accuracy, while the walnut or rosewood square butt grips, longer than those of the First Issue model, improve handling comfort. The design aligns with the Old Model Pocket Rifle but stands out due to a skeleton-type stock with a wider butt for better ergonomics and an included extractor for added functionality. This rifle, with an RF rating of 2, is both a reliable and collectible piece, reflecting the innovative spirit of its production era.
