STEVENS ARMS COMPANY Model .22-410 Over/Under Combination RIFLE/SHOTGUN C&R
Early to Mid-1900s SQUIRREL/RABBIT Combination Gun
Here we present a C&R Stevens Arms Company Model .22-410 Combination Rifle/Shotgun, made circa 1938 to 1950 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. The Stevens .22-410 was made under the Stevens name in the period between 1938 and 1950. This rifle/shotgun combination became the Savage Model 24 in 1950 and was under the Savage name until 1965.
This rifle is chambered in .22 Rimfire along with the 410 shotgun barrel superposed below the .22 rifle, all wrapped up in one package and represents one of Stevens’ most practical small caliber firearms. I had one of these growing up and was my favorite to take into the woods to hunt squirrels. For those fox squirrels sitting in the top of that big oak tree, the .22 was just the answer. But, when those gray squirrels took off running, like they always do, the 410 was ready to respond. This gun would have been purchased by and for boys and youth in the early to mid-20th Century.
Like all other boys and youth 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 during those times wanted were good results and long usage. After all, most of these diminutive firearms had 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 combination gun 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!
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish and case colors. The action is excellent. The bores are bright; great rifling in the .22 bore and smooth shotgun bore. The stock is in fine shape. A great piece!
