That is an interesting gun for sure. A friend had a Stevens hammer gun years ago that had the barrels made the same way.

Bruce, did these barrels come out of the factory like this or was this a later modification on a twist steel gun? If the gun was made in this fashion I wonder if Stevens did so recognizing the shotgun world at the time was evolving to non-damascus and they saw this as a way to use up existing damascus stock barrels in their inventory and a short term measure before fully transitioning to the non damascus/twist steel world.

I measured the chamber length at 2 3/4", this should safely allow for the use of 2 3/4" shells since they measure a touch over 2 1/4" inches before firing, allowing for the shell to fully open up. I see the original company published literature states "choke bored for nitro powder". This information will be reassuring to some but I will stick to the 2 1/2" low pressure RST and the "High Pheasant" loads regardless of 1905 company claims.
The safety is one that I have never encountered, it's a 3 position one. Pushing it in the fully forward position it is on "Fire", pushing it fully to the rear it is also in "Fire" position. Only when the safety is in the center or middle position is the gun on "Safe". This one will be fun when the weather cooperates. It's currently 8 degrees at 4:45 PM. Bruce |
