I am not sure about the "Buckhorn" part, but if it is the same as the Stevens (part of Savage Arms) 52B S-L-LR .22 caliber single shot bolt rifle it should date to the mid-1930s. This firearm was also sold by Montgomery Ward as a Western Field model 36. (To make things confusing, the Western Field model 36 referred to both a rebranded Stevens model 52B-62-83N and a rebranded Mossberg model 10. The Mossberg 10 was made 1933-35.) The 1934 Stevens parts catalogue includes the Stevens model 52B (see http://www.cornellpubs.com/Templates/StevensParts1934.htm), as does the 1938 Stevens parts catalogue. The Stoeger 1939 World's Fair Issue Gun and Sports Catalogue does not include the 52B, but does list the Stevens Buckhorn models 53, 56, 66, and 76. The website www.e-gunparts.com lists the component parts of the Stevens model 52B under the heading "Savage, Fox, Springfield, and Stevens." All of these were brand names used by the Stevens company.
The Stevens model 52b dates to the mod-1930s. Stevens is the same company as Savage, and also sold rifles under the name Springfield (not to be confused with the Springfield Armory military rifle maker) and shotguns under the name Fox. The model 52b was also sold by Montgomery Ward under the Wards house brand "Western Field" as a model 36. To confuse matters, Wards also sold the Mossberg model 10 (very similar to the 52b) as a Western Fields model 36.
The Model 52A was made until 1937, so production of the 52B should have followed that. Both J. Stevens and Springfield were owned by Savage- you might check with their customer service department.
the Winchester model 52B is a 22 cal target rifle of good quality. value depends on averall condition as well as the model type...........................
The Western Field model 36 .22 rifle was a Montgomery Wards branded Mossberg model 10 or Stevens (Savage) model 52b. Both were sold as Western Field model 36s. These date to the mid-1930s.
The Pioneer Model 23 .22 rifle sold by Gamble Stores Incorporated is equivalent to the Stevens Model 52B. Savage/Stevens produced several firearms that were sold through dept. stores that put their brand name on them. You can find gun parts for it through Numrich Gun Parts Corp @ e-gunparts.com. Look for the Stevens 52B, the majority of parts are sold out. The gun would have been produced in the mid-30's. Hope this helps.
Go to the Springfield Armory web site. Email them the question if you can't find the answer on their web site. * The Springfield Armory won't know anything about a Stevens/Savage rifle manufactured 1933-1939. Look for this .22 single shot S-L-LR bolt action rifle as a Stevens 52B (Springfield was used for a time as a brand name by Stevens/Savage, as was Fox, so it may also show up under those names). It was also sold house branded as a (Montgomery Ward) Wards Western Field model 36. (However, Montgomery Ward also sold the Mossberg model 10 as a Western Field model 36; the Mossberg 10 was made 1933-35.) The Stevens model 52B is included in the 1934 Stevens parts catalogue; it is not included in the Stoeger 1939 Worlds Fair Issue Gun & Sports Catalogue (although the Stevens models 53, 56, 66, and 76 are).
