Stevens Favorite

I am trying to nail down just when the Stevens Favorite extractor moved from the seven o'clock position in the receiver to the six o'clock position. Perkins says Stevens changed the design in 1898. DeHass says it moved "in about 1901". Anybody have more information??

    Can anyone tell me which model Favorite had a knurled ring around the barrel at the chamber end threaded to control headspace? The receiver has " Stevens A & t co. " stamped on it. Any guess as to date of MFG ?

    I couldn't find a definitive answer but here's an article on the Favorite you might find helpful.

    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly
