What model is this Stevens Favorite .22LR?
Hello! This rifle was recently passed down to me from my great-grandfather and I am told he acquired this around the year 1900.
Could you kindly help me identify the model of this gun? We think it might be a Stevens Favorite No. 18 Model 1894 or No. 27 Model 1915, but are not quite sure. Below are the details. Thank you for your help! ** Barrel: Fully Octagon Sights: Beach combination front sight, Leaf folding middle sight, Lyman #2 tang sight Serial No.: R803 is stamped under the lever Top of Barrel Markings (3 lines each): J.STEVENS ARMS COMPANY MADE IN U.S.A. 22 LONG RIFLE CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A. TRADE MARK FAVORITE REG.U.S.PAT.OFF.&FGN. *Photos attached |

According to Frank DeHaas, you have the 1915 action, as shown by the takedown knob and squared off breechblock. If you take the buttstock off, it should then have a coil mainspring. The 1894 has a ring takedown screw, contoured breechblock, and leaf mainspring.
I hope the bore is good, it will be a pleasure to shoot. Standard velocity, please. |

Thank you, Jim! Would you happen to know the No. of this Model 1915? Perhaps No. 27?

No, sorry, Frank was mostly interested in the actions, I do not have a reference to the many model numbers.

whatever model it is, it's an absolute beauty as far as I am concerned.
