Pope - Stevens Conversion

Stevens converted a very pretty early J.M. Marlin period Ballard #6 by re barreling the rifle with one of their famous "Pope-Stevens" marked barrels and making a new fore end. The cork pad was for a finger tip rest favored by some off hand shooters. The rifle is in 38-55. A truly super condition engraved rifle. Thanks again Charlie!

What a fine rifle. I have an old Stevens 52 scheutzen rifle (38-55) that I thought was special but it's not close to this one. Arlon
