Stevens Favorite '' New Season ''
- Thread starter skwerl
- Start date
I have a few boxes of .25 rf, would like to find an old revolver that takes that cartridge, i am not even sure they exist, if not i will likely sell most of them, does anyone know of a handgun that uses 25 stevens? I have seen a few rifles around for sale but were quite seedy looking.
You must be new here.
Hi everyone, I have come into a .25 Stevens Favorite through a family inheritance. I have done as much research as I could but having trouble putting the bits and pieces together to get an estimate of date of manufacture. The gun appears to be in great condition for it's age with a good bore. Apologies for the mediocre pictures. It did come with 18 rounds of ammo in original box, however I have been told that my uncle attempted to put a round through many decades ago and the cartridge failed to discharge. Shame that ammo is no longer available. Thought I would share here and see if anyone could guesstimate anything about it. Reciever and barrel stamped "10 730". Thank you

Your Stevens rifle is a Model 44 Ideal , 26'' or 28'' part Oct. barrel ?
