I found this this J.Stevens Arms Little Scout .22 LR 14 1/2 in the closet of our house after moving in. It was disassembled and VERY rusty. The main large components were were all there along with a soup can containing a few of the smaller parts and screws. Unfortunately it is still missing some parts. Someday I hope to find the missing parts at a gun show.

I ended up gluing/re-oil finishing the cracked stock and sanded/re-blued the steel parts (It many parts were rusted BAD). I know it is considered sacrilege to do this to old firearms, but this is not too valuable to start with and it was in awful condition. I was bored and it seemed like a challenge to spruce it up.
