J. STEVENS A&T Model 1894 FAVORITE .22 Cal. Falling Block YOUTH/BOY’S Rifle
Early 1900s Light & Popular Single Shot Rifle
Here we present a C&R Stevens Model 1894 “Favorite” Falling Block Rifle, made sometime between 1894 and 1916 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. This rifle is chambered in .22 Long Rifle Rimfire and represents one of Stevens’ most prolific lines of rifles, purchased by and for boys and youth in the late 19th to early 20th Century. Stevens made three different models of the “Favorite” rifles which included the Model 1889, the Model 1894, and the Model 1915.
This example is the second “Favorite” model and is marked on the barrel “J. STEVENS A&T CO. / CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A. PAT APR. 17, 94” in two lines. Rifles made after 1916 will be marked “J. STEVENS ARMS COMPANY”.
Like all other children’s guns of the time, this Stevens was designed to be very utilitarian, sturdy, and versatile. Fancy wood, engraved steel, or polished brass were not important to the youngsters who used these guns. What children of those time wanted were good results and long usage. After all, most of these diminutive firearms has to serve several generations of children before they were retired. In the 19th century, firearms occupied a place in every rural home and were sometimes even looked upon as members of the family.
This would have been the rifle that a boy learned on, plinked, and hunted with. Its falling block loading system was strong, simple and reliable. It also taught the shooter how to make the shot count as it was not a repeater.
The overall condition is very good. Original finish/patina. The action is excellent. The bore is fair, with good rifling but signs of erosion and a ring or two (no bulges). The stock is in good shape and solid. This one has a nice tang-mounted rear sight.
