Can anyone help me out with some info on the following two rifles? I don't know much about them. I think one is a Chinese AK and it has the bayonet that flips out and not sure about the single shot.

second one looks like a Stevens Model 44 or 44 1/2, It should be marked on the frame under the forearm. What caliber is it ?
The blue on the barrel looks a lot new than the frame , it could have been rebarrelled . I have one in 32 rimfire , which is obsolete and
very expensive per round if you can find them,

Top one looks like a Chinese SKS made at Arsenal 26, looks to be in pretty good shape. Arsenal 26 was sort of the flagship factory for Chinese SKSs and arguably the best ones were made there. That being said they're pretty common. I like the Chinese SKS variant the best personally, lighter than the Yugo and with chrome lined barrel, cheaper than a Russian.

Agree. That single shot is more than likely a Steven's Crackshot. My guess is a model 26 in .22 caliber(?). (they made them in a number of calibers, majority sold were .22's) Interesting that someone reblued or rebarreled it.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I am not finding anything on the single shot what caliber it is. I took the forearm wood off and nothing under it.

If it's not marked on the frame, then it should be marked on top of the barrel in front of the site like in this picture.

It may be under the site. I will take a picture of what mine looks like when I get home. I can see some writing but nothing that says caliber. I know mine says something A&T on it.

Stevens Favorite No. 17 Model 1894

It's probably going to be either .22, .25 Stevens Long, or .32 rimfire.

How about a picture of the chamber?

A quick gunbroker search on completed deals (not asking price) will tell you what you want. I just did a quick lookup on the Stevens and they've sold for $150-225 in the past 6 months.

You have to sign into your account and go to "advanced search", and then there is a completed items tab. But you still need to be careful because it will show completed items that did not sell. So only look at deals that are completed and met the minimum and had bids. (not zero bids)

not a crackshot , maybe a favorite, the crackshot barrel rests on the frame , on the favorite , the frame surrounds the barrel

I really don't consider my self a collector , but I have many single shot 22's . I have a soft spot in my heart for them . Started with my Dad's crackshot he used
during the Great Depression to feed the family . He was born in 1922, as a young boy he ran a trapline , earning more on a good night than his
Dad made working on WPA projects in rural Oklahoma.
