Understandable confusion. There were two Steven actions called the "Crack Shot". The first, the one shown, is the one collectors call the "side lever Crack Shot" made from 1900 to 1913. The second, the under lever Crack Shot, was made from 1913 up to WWII and has been reproduced, so it is more familiar to most folks than the early model.

All of which does not help in obtaining parts, but may at least settle things down a bit.
