Lot 549:
Page-Lewis Arms Company Model D Reliance Single Shot Bolt Action Rifle .22 LR with 20 Inch Barrel for Parts/Repair
Description
This lot features a single-shot bolt-action rifle manufactured by the Page-Lewis Arms Company of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, chambered for .22 LR. Identified as the Model D “Reliance,” this firearm represents the early 20th-century production of the company prior to its acquisition by Savage Arms. The rifle is equipped with a 20-inch barrel, a blade front sight, and a fixed notched rear sight. It is currently in a non-functional state as it is missing the bolt assembly. The one-piece wooden stock features a straight grip and a black-painted butt. Extensive markings are found on the barrel including Page-Lewis Arms Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass. U.S.A. and 22 L.R. Model D, while the left side of the receiver is stamped Reliance. The wood stock shows significant structural damage, notably a large longitudinal crack extending from the rear of the receiver through the wrist, and additional cracks near the trigger guard. This item is being sold strictly as a parts gun or for restoration. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The metal surfaces exhibit a dark, aged patina with heavy pitting and surface oxidation present throughout the barrel and receiver. The bore condition was not inspected due to the missing bolt assembly. The action cannot be function-tested as the bolt is missing. The wooden stock is in poor condition, showing significant wear, handling marks, and multiple deep cracks, most notably at the wrist and trigger guard area. The metal finish shows near-total loss to oxidation.
