J Stevens Single shot

Old Fool

I have a J Stevens .22cal single shot break open, take down rifle with a patent date of 1913. It is a lever action rolling block action and I believe it is possibly be a "Creck Shot, a "Boys Rifle" or a "Favorite" but I am not sure. It is in extremely poor condition, but the owner wants it restored for sentimental reasons. Any idea of what it might be??

Thanks

Stevens never made a "rolling block" style action. Instead, they made millions of relatively weak "falling block" actions. The rifle you describe sounds like it may be a Model 1915 Favorite or Crackshot.

It is a sort of "falling block" that rotates, nomenclature problem on my end. Thanks

Can you post a Photo?

If you are lucky it might be a Stevens "Walnut Hill" target rifle (although, they weren't breakdowns)
