The singleshot Stevens 15A and 15B .22 rifles are worth %50 to $150, depending on the condition. The higher-end price seems to keep them sitting around for quite a while.
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.
It looks like it would, but you won't know unless you try.
These were made from 1936-1971.
The Stevens Model 15 and Model 15A are similar in design, but they may have some differences in their bolt assemblies. Generally, parts compatibility can vary based on specific features and manufacturing changes. It's best to consult a gunsmith or reference a detailed parts diagram for both models to confirm compatibility before attempting any interchange.
