Did he mean Agwam Arms? Was he referring to the 2268? Also, another entry by someone on THR said he had one of these guns that he referred to as an Agawam Arms Model 68. As an added clue I have seen someone writing an entry on THR stating he once had a gun of this type with Ted Williams name on it which would make it a Sears product. I would like someone to identify this gun for me. (The Ithaca 49 originally had walnut furniture and then later a blonde wood believed to be elm.) The gun also has no markings on it that I can see regarding the manufacturer, model name or number, serial number, etc. The rifle in question has wood which was finished in the way guns made for the lower-cost market are finished. The Ithaca has no saddle ring and I have never seen one of the Stevens models. 22 rifle that is almost identical to the Ithaca 49 although the frame is a tiny bit different and there is a saddle ring attached to the left side of the frame. With that background here is my question: In the stock of a gun dealer I have seen a used. It is listed as the CHALLENGER 2268 FRONTIERSMAN. I have not actually seen this gun but Gun Digest listed it for several years The Gun Digest for 1971 lists a rifle that must be about identical to the two aforementioned rifles. Stevens marketed their twin of the Ithaca 49 as the Stevens 89 that was sold from about 1976 to 1985. 22 rifle that was marketed primarily as a beginner's rifle with an old-west look. I am very familiar with the Ithaca Model 49 single-shot.
