Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Stevens 425 basic parts photos

I recently picked up a Stevens 425 and took it down to bare parts to clean and fix it. While I had it apart I figured I would snap some photos of the internals if anyone wanted them. Except for the axle spring they use for a hammer spring the rifle resembled a Marlin pretty closely. One of the parts that needed work on mine was the loading gate which was staked in place and the staking was loose, binding on the bolt. Was everyone else staked or riveted on? I took my time and cleaned up the old post and using a punch and a steel backer staked/riveted it back in place. She's running like a champ now. Hope this helps someone. Sorry, some of the photos are of parts prior to cleaning them, my photographer (mama) was only available midway through the clean up.
