STEVENS M1915 “FAVORITE” .22 LR RF YOUTH Falling Block TAKEDOWN Rifle C&R
ROARING TWENTIES Light & Popular Single Shot Rifle
Here Ancestry Guns present a C&R Stevens Arms Company Model 1915 “Favorite” Falling Block Rifle, made circa the 1920s-40s in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, with a production run between 1916 and 1940. 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 early 20th Century. Rifles made in 1916 or after 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 times 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.
Stevens, well known for its Tip-Up Pistols, Boy’s Rifles, and Sporting Rifles, got its start in Chicopee Falls at the closing years of the Civil War in 1864. Stevens Arms was founded by Joshua Stevens with help from backers W.B. Fay and James Taylor in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, in 1864 as J. Stevens & Co. Their earliest product was a tip-up action single shot pistol. In 1886, the company was reorganized and incorporated as J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. The business was able to grow steadily with tool manufacturing and sales now accounting for the bulk of the business output.
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 fine. Original finish. The action is strong. Bright bore with strong rifling. The stock is in fine shape with less than average wear. Markings are sharp.
