22 rifle

Member Posts: 92 ✭✭
All I can read on this gun is: J.Stevens A&T Co. Chicopee Falls, Mass. USA On the rear part of the barrel it says: ???NS-MAYNARD JR 22-LONG RIFLE This rifle is a lever action type gun, you pull the lever down and the gun hinges open to load. You put the shell in pull lever up to close and it has a hammer for firing. Octagon barrel. Can you give me any insight on this gun. Is it an early "Favorite" ?

Any help identifying the rifle , what it will shoot and the manufacturer will be appreciated.
I've got the one my Dad gave me used over 40 years ago, and I bought one a few years back for my boys to use.
On his 16th Christmas, my youngest wanted a Ruger 10/22, which I got for him.
Other than that I have no experience with other 22 rifles.
I'm looking to close my 50 yd groups, and I may scope the recent Marlin (already tapped) to help my old eyes shoot better groups.
I'm asking for other suggestions that won't bust $ 300.00.
....I'm listening !
EDIT
Thanks for the replies. I'll be scoping the newer Marlin 39. Usually I'm open for a reason to buy another firearm, but Hurricane Gustav put 20K+ on my back...I had to borrow from my Bro-n-law.
I don't hold much hope in the compassion of the insurance adjuster..I'll be dancing naked if I get half back.
Thanks again
Yes, photos are best to have for what limited info supplied.
Marble's, if not aware, is the brand name of the rear sight. Which may or not be original to the rifle, yet either way of no help there to identify what you have. Too, with no serial number showing is indication being made pre-1968 Gun Control Act,(U.S.).
How is the metal finish, is it in rough shape? Reason I ask is because if it is, it is easy to miss markings, if at all legible. An example is with an ancient 1893 Marlin with bluing gone, rust and patina was the word of the day, I nearly over-looked the teeny-tiny lettering on the barrel showing caliber of ".30-30".
A magnifying glass with good lighting has become standard procedure for such condition firearms that I'm not familiar with.

Can anybody tell me what it is and what it is worth?
I have got a car with 4 doors and a TX license plate

Because it is from TX, it is obviously worth more than one from NY, of the same type and condition.[:D][:D]
To the OP, keither. We really need to see some pictures, to determine what it is. I have a splendid little pump action carbine, made by Taurus(the only good gun they made), that is a copy of the Winchester 62. It is the most excellent frogging gun(shooting these northern bull frogs, for frog leg dinner's), and is great out of a canoe, for that purpose. It is stainless to boot.
Does your rifle have an exposed hammer?

I have a one finger salute for you MR. CPERMD, some of are not puter literate like you professionals.
Not a matter of computer literacy, but of common sense. We don't have access to any crystal balls. You should have realized we have no way of helping you. Just on the basis of your less than accurate description of the .22.

Well forget about that and read on, and answer my question concerning your gun...does it have an exposed hammer.
BTW, you should be mundane here. It has some of the best experts in all categories of firearms, in the world, and they do give great advice. Just that we sometimes need more input, and what CP was doing, is giving you a comparative, of what you gave us to go on.
Attitudes like the above, will get you a vacation from here.

Wow. What a bad attitude in response to someone using humor to make a point about how difficult it will be to help you with the information you've provided.
