stevens crackshot

[Dean Romig]

It is Jim. But the bore is like a sewer pipe, so we’ll never know how accurate it ‘was.’

The front sight is a two position. Flip it up and there is the blade sight within a circle - flip it the other way and up pops a different blade with no circle around it.

Is this one a “Favorite”? J. Stevens .25 cal. Rimfire.

Was my grandfather’s rifle. He used it on chicken coop predators and garden pests.

Has a cracked the stock from when he attempted to club a ground hog with it and it glanced off a rock.

Was gifted to my brother when he entered his early ‘teens.

7.37 pounds. Looks like it has a “bull barrel”.

Here are cuts of display advertising for the J. Stevens "Favorite", from the 1890 John P. Lovell Arms Co. GUNS AND HUNTING SUPPLIES catalogue.
