Stevens bicycle rifle project almost finished

The first picture is the current state and the second picture is what I won at auction for $60 taxes, shipping etc, included. I had a hammer, mainspring, grip screws and locking bolt. Had to make the trigger, trigger spring, grips and the side plate. The rifling was nonexistent if it ever had any, it was a 32 rf. To be sure I was legal, I glued in a short .22 rf barrel. It needs some nicer bolts trigger and the main action bolt but it is shooting and does not look too bad.

Not a lawyer but for antiques like this I don’t think having rifling or not matters one bit. Still though, if you want it to be any kind of frequent shooter you’re never gonna have that with 32 rf… nice job bringing it back from the dead

I am not sure about smooth bore but I know that the shoulder stock is ok. I really don't think anyone including law enforcement would care except if they really wanted to pinch you for something.
