Just finished my Stevens 77E, thought I would share some pics. Had a few issues when I got it. Needed a new bead, new recoil pad, and a lot of cleaning. Re-tapped the barrel for a new bead first. The trigger group pin was stuck and I had to cut it to remove it. Finally tracked down a new stock and recoil pad after many months of searching. Also managed to find a NOS parkerized operating handle and a military forend. Keeping the original furniture to switch out occasionally.

After the war, many surplus 77Es were sold to police departments in the US, including the South Carolina Highway Department.
