Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Stevens Arms Company, well known for its Tip-up Pistols, Boy's Rifles, and Ideal Target and Sporting Rifles, got its start at Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts in 1864. Founder Joshua Stevens was a New England toolmaker who had gained experience in firearms manufacture while employed at various times by C. B. Allen, Eli Whitney, Samuel Colt, and Edwin Wesson. While employed as production superintendent for the Chicopee Falls-based Massachusetts Arms Co., he filed a successful patent claim for improvements to percussion pistols produced by this firm.
Stevens received a patent for a tip-up pistol design during the same year in which he, along with financial backers W. B. Fay and James Taylor, founded the company that bore his name. Although a producer of firearms, J. Stevens and Company's primary source of income was derived through the manufacture and sale of machine tools. The company's early years were lean ones, with production carried out in a former Chicopee Falls grist mill by fewer than 60 employees. J. Stevens and Co. underwent an expansion in 1880, and in 1886, the firm changed its name to J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co.
This series of rifle was intended to help introduce shooting to youngsters, with over a million produced. These firearms have become quite collectible. This model is a take-down action, just unscrew the take-down screw and the barrel removes. This not only made the rifle portable, but allowed for an interchangeable barrel feature. This rifle has impacted shooting so much the first time it went into production that they re-introduced it again and called it a “Stevens Favorite”.
