Ain't it the truth! Good to see ya!

missed you guys (no pun inteneded) but i missed more than i hit untill i learned to control my aim then i was aloud to upgrade to a 12ga single shot and then my currant double barrel sidexside

Removed what was left of the old extractor last night and snapped the new one into place. Just had to rotate it around the bolt to get a good fit.

Took it out today and road tested it. Love this little gun. Only thing to complain about now is the price of ammo.

I used it to take rabbits & squirrels in the late 60's & early 70's.
Now it belongs to my son.

Nice. That was the second firearm I owned. I got my great aunt's single.shot Winchester .22 for Christmas when I turned 7. Then for my 8th Christmas I got one of those Stevens .410s. It was a hoot.
I'm still kicking myself for trading it for a Ruger MKIII when I was a bit older but not much wiser.

I've got a Stevens bolt action .410 also, I think I paid something like 35 or 40 for it. I also own my Grandfathers Savage-Stevens side by side .410. I'm a sucker for double barrel side by sides, I bought a .20 Stoeger Coach Gun that's pretty sweet shooting also.

As for a Grandad story, my Grandpa Clark, not the Grandad mentioned earlier, had a little Remington 22 that he hunted with. He would shoot ducks on the wing with it. When his eyes started aging he put a boars tusk on the 22 for a front sight. He passed before I came along. My older brother has the Remington.
