Model D, ,50 51 & 52 Reliance, Junior and others

The Model D Reliance was the last model of gun made by the Page-Lewis Arms Company.  This rifle was an entry level gun for junior shooters that had to be manually cocked, which made it less expensive to make and was a desirable safety feature for young shooters. This model was produced 1923-1928 with a 20 inch barrel. During this time Savage/Stevens bought the assets of Page Lewis and in 1928 they introduced the Model 50 Springfield Junior which was little more than a Model D with a bit larger stock and a 24 inch barrel. This model, priced at $5.87 was discontinued in 1933 in favor of the Model 52 with a 22 inch barrel and this model sold for $3.98 in the 1933 Sears Roebuck catalog.
