Stevens forearm is of the one screw design and made out of checkered fancy walnut. Lyman wind gauge front sight and a Stevens-Vernier tang rear. CONDITION: Retains a considerable amount of bright case color on action. Buttstock is excellent, with very minor handling marks. Buttplate has only traces of case color remaining.
