Stevens Model 70 "Visible Loader" Firing Demonstration

Showing off my Stevens Visible Loader in .22 LR. Designed in 1907, these little rifles were built between 1908 and 1933 by Stevens Arms and Savage Arms after the former was purchased in 1920. Not known for its reliability, the little .22 pump action was nicknamed "Miserable Loader". As for why, I think the results speak themselves. Certainly a very neat footnote in the history of repeating arms.
