Anhedonius,
A previous discussion on this site, dealt with Steven's doubles and how many people started with them and how many people still use them, myself included. Michael McIntosh started with a Stevens double. They have very little snob appeal but they are definitely classy.

OT re. the subject of the stock removal & FE fitting but I can't resist responding to SWAMPMAN with a little tongue in cheek.
When I was 14 my father bought me a 16ga Steven's 16 ga (311 I think w/wood stock & FE) to replace the Savage 220A 20 gauge I started with 2 years earlier and shot well. I didn't think the Stevens double was classy then & I don't think they are classy now. I shot the Stevens so poorly it turned me off on double triggers until I was in my 50's although the double triggers were not the problem w/ me not shooting the Stevens.
I was really excited to get that Stevens & even more excited to see it go & I was well into my 20's before I bought another SxS & this time with a single trigger.
