That pretty well describes any hammerless action. -- Not Completely -- Most 'hammerless' boxlock actions do in fact have internal hammers. The later Stevens 311 guns have them. However, certain earlier submodels of the 311, the Stevens 330, 3151, 315 and so forth actually do not have hammers at all. The firing pins are very long and extend back into the action and are actually themselves held against spring tension by the sears. Pulling the trigger lowers the sear associated with that trigger and allows the firing pin to go forward under tension from its spring, firing that barrel. We have a substantial inventory of parts for these guns. sales@countrygunsmith.net

What are axes and hammers use for?

Hammers and Axes are used to cut and build stock market prices. . you see, ever since George W Bush was a kid, his father used to threaten to hit his trust funds with a gigantic axe. Therefore, whenever he grew up. .he had a phobia of axes in the stockmarket. . so he got rid of them and then all that was left were the hammers. The hammers kept building the prices up and up until they eventually collapsed. You see, there were no axes to balance out the hammers. Now, we have nothing but a huge crap filled baby diper giving people poop instead of money. That explains the economic crisis and also may provide an answer as to why there is AIDS in the world today


What is the age of J Stevens Arms Crackshot?

The approximate dates are abt 1886-1916. In 1920 Stevens started using the "J. Stevens Arms Co." instead of the Stevens Tools and Arms of earlier versions - I think Crackshots were made thru 36 (?) - so I'm assuming yours is a later version - 1920-36. Hope that helps THe No 26 was manufactured from 1912 - 1939.
