J. STEVENS A&T “FAVORITE” .32 Long YOUTH Falling Block TAKEDOWN Rifle C&R
Early 1900s Light & Popular Single Shot Rifle
Here we present a C&R J. Stevens A&T Company “Favorite” Falling Block Rifle, made circa the turn of the century in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, with a production run between 1886 and 1916. This rifle is chambered in .32 Long and represents one of Stevens’ most prolific lines of rifles, purchased by and for boys and youth in the early 20th Century. 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 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.
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. It even has a takedown feature.
The overall condition is very good. Original dark brown patina. The stock and forend are very good. The bores are bright and good with sharp rifling in the top bore. Clear, legible markings. The action is strong. Original buttplate. The top receiver tang is repaired.
