What's Included
- Stevens Springfield Model 15 .22 LR single-shot bolt-action rifle
The Model 15 uses a bolt-action, single-shot, manually cocked system with a knurled rear cocking piece and no separate safety lever. The right-hand bolt handle sits close to the trigger for compact, simple operation.
Iron sights include a driftable front blade and a rear leaf with stepped elevator. The receiver top is round and un-grooved, and the rifle feeds one round at a time. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches, and the format is full-size.
Construction is period-correct with a 22 inch carbon steel barrel, a blued carbon steel receiver, and a one-piece hardwood stock with a straight comb. A stamped steel trigger guard completes the original hardware set.
The barrel carries the factory rollmark 'SPRINGFIELD J. STEVENS ARMS COMPANY CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A. MODEL 15' with the caliber line '22 SHORT LONG OR LONG RIFLE.' A single large slotted fore-end screw retains the barreled action for simple takedown. Serial number not present/exempt.
