The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Well here it is in all the glory, a Model 53b Stevens. I piece this together from parts found at a gun show and E-bay. Hoping to get out soon to test shoot it.

I believe I have that model Stevens, I have several Stevens bolt .22's and that one looks familiar. All of mine shoot well, possibly because they are sized for adults, and it's hard to screw up a .22 bolt rifle. Very nice job.

Nice job but beware. these .22 rifles can be as addicting as a Mosin. A while back I went on a .22 bender and ended up with six different models of Mossbergs.

I know, it seems you can't have just one. Also just picked up a Romanian trainer, I tend to like the simple bolt action rifles. Passed up a Mosin 22 trainer a while back, now I could kick myself.
