Hey these are great looking doubles. A double 20 would be a nice one to have for sure.

Thanks for the comments. I'm waiting on parts from Numrich for a Riverside 315 16ga that I'm working on. I'll post some pics of it when I get it put back together. The stevens were well built working man's guns.

I've not found anything broke. I'm just replacing wear items. Some probably don't need replaced but I'm replacing anyway.

Yes they do, the sear's, triggers and such inside these are not as robust as the ones they used in the late model Stevens doubles. They are thinner, and can wear dangerously to the point that they can let go if the buttstock is banged, or even if it's not. I have seen this problem in two of these guns so far, one I still own, I replaced all the guts.

It's my most popular video on youtube, I may have to make a follow up for it.
