Stevens model 73 project

Stevens model 73, the previous owner gave up on the project stating that he could not find a replacement for the lost bolt. I was able to find the bolt and refinished the rifle, I have less than $23 in the project

I decided it needed a sling, so I made one from an old leather belt

My neighbor brought me his model 73 to refinish, only needed the barrel reblued and a good cleaning, came out pretty nice
