I looked Stevens up on the internet and found that Sr and Jr were NH politicians and local leaders.
The gun had fallen upon hard times and changed hands a lot at the gunshow cordwood tables, kind of like the posts we see here: " I got me this here old gun, it says Parker, what is it and how much kin ah git fur it". It was mistreated and decrepit. First Austin Hogan then me poured effort and money into the gun....its been a project but it shoots well and looks pretty good now, I think. Heavy gun with the thick walled 12ga barrels and I've shot some heavy loads through it that would make an 870 owner proud. The 10's are light uplands and I've used them with RST loads when I want to throw a lot of shot in a wide pattern, but I usually use a tight choked 16ga. Its still a 7 3/4lb gun with the 10's so its not light.
You got me Bill. The triggers are in their usual orientation.
