Izzat one of those formerly common Stevens/Springfield

singleshots, which I think they called the Model 120 in some instances?

They have a 1 piece barrel/receiver, a manually cocking bolt, stepladder rear sight, and wood which is usually plainer the a Puritan's coat, but can also range into ugly.

They're little light handy guns, but proportions were kinda blocky to the eye./

First new gun I ever owned. It was store-branded for Otasco in my case. I grew tired of it, and loaned it to my cousin while in my 20s. He kept it on a houseboat, and to reduced rust, it was given a flat black coat of runny Krylon. I got it back, later.

When Melony and I were a couple (02-04) I had it professionally cut down like the one in the photo for her oldest boy, who would be 28 or 29 now. We broke up, and I have a feeling he never shot it. So goes life.
