So I fixed it by:

1. Bushed the stock nut with new threads.
2. Made new firing pin.
3. New trigger spring from Wolff.
4. Made new trigger spring plunger.
5. New mainspring from Wolff.
6. Made new oversized breech block and hammer screws.
7. Thinned down a flat washer and installed along left side of breech block as a shim.
8. Stabilized the crack and cleaned up stock and forend, resfinished with Tru-Oil.
9. Stripped metal and rust blued with Mark Lee Express #1.
10. Just for fun I made a new forend from cherry.


After Pics:

Fortunately, the bore of this rifle has good rifling, so no reline.

I'm working on my own Stevens 14 1/2 missing extractor, but the rest of the rifle is there kind of I want to know why most of these little rifles have cracked butt stocks and excellent bores.

 

I was given one by my gunsmith, someone gave it to him...I eventually gave it to gent who is going to rehab it, I just didn't have time. Neat little boys rifle.

 

Nice work on the stock AND the other work as well. That little guy needs to be displayed in a special place where people can see it.

Just don't go down the rabbit hole on the 14 1/2's like I did and wound up with a total of ten of them. It was fun but a nightmare at the same time because there are so many variations.

 

Nice

 

Very nice save!!! Would have loved to have watched as you worked through all the steps!!! And maybe I could learn a trick or tip along the way.
God Bless, Frank.

 

Very nice.

That shoulder stock part has some really nice wood figure in it. A stripping, a little heat gunning to bubble out the years of soaked in oil, a tad of water steaming, a bit of light sanding, maybe a stain, and some TruOil rubbed in would make it really purdy.

 

I wish mine had a good bore, the rest of the gun is very nice. Therte is barely any trace of rifling left in the bore.

 

Have the barrel relined and you will be golden!!!
God Bless, Frank.

 

I just found a 14 1/2 barrel on eBay, judging from the sellers rather colorful description there might just be some decent rifling in the barrel, maybe.
