What is the value of Stevens Model 15 22 short long or long rifle?

Answer 1

THE ANSWER DEPENDS ALOT ON THE CONDITION OF THE RIFLE. IF IT IS IN SHOOTABLE CONDITION WITH A BROWN PATINA ON THE METAL AND NOT MUCH PITTING IN THE METAL WITH A GOOD BORE IT SHUOLD FETCH ABOUT 125 OR MORE TODAY. I HAVE ONE OF THESE AND SO I LOOK AT PRICES WHEN AT GUN SHOWS. THE CONDITION VARIES FROM ABSOLUTE RUST TO PRETTY GOOD. THSES WERE CHEAP GUNS MADE TO BE USED AND THEY WERE. THESE DAYS THE NOSTALGIC VALUE IS PROBABLY MORE THAN THE ACTUAL VALUE AS A SHOOTER. IF MY GRANDFATHER USED THIS GUN TO FETCH RABBITS OR DEER FOR THE DINNER TABLE IN THE 30'S IT WOULD BE INVALUABLE TO ME NOW, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE MIGHT BE DUE FOR ANOTHER RECESSION. OVERALL THESE ARE GOOD GUNS AND QUITE ACCURATE AND A JOY TO SHOOT. I SHOOT MINE REGULARLY KNOWING THAT THE LEAD BULLETS GOING DOWN THE BARREL WILL ONLY POLISH THE BORE AND MAKE IT MORE ACCURATE. WHEN I RECIEVED MINE THE EXTRACTOR WAS MISSING AND THE SEAR WAS WORN OUT. A CALL TO GUN PARTS CORP. AND ABOUT $20 GOT ME REPLACEMENT PARTS AND IT WORKS LIKE NEW. HOPE THIS HELPS, CAPTAIN CLOYD.
