"THE MISSING LINK” 
That’s what Mr. W. S. Colvin, Osawatomie, Kansas, calls the Stevens 6-shot repeating shotgun. This 
is the way he says it: 
“I am pleased to inform you that your trombone action repeating shotgun put 
on the market several years ago is superior to all others of its kind. * * * 
“Previous to that time I had disposed of them one after another. * * * I was 
looking for a missing link and I finally found it in the Stevens. 
“Its shooting efficiency, smoothness and rapidity of movement was all a sur¬ 
prise to me. I can throw this gun any old way and get results because it is a 
natural pointer. Also there is no kick or a recoil—nor jammed shoulders. 
“My field hitting percentage jumped up by bounds, and since I purchased this 
gun I have shot some 2,000 shells and always found it ‘Johnny on the spot’. 
The model I own is No. 520 , 28 -inch modified choke.’’ 
Perhaps you can find your Mis«^ing Link in our latest illustrated catalog of single barreled, double 
barreled and repeating shotguns, single shot and repeating rifles and pistols and rifle telescopes. 
Send to-day for a copy of this book which is practically a standard treatise on firearms.
