J. Stevens Marksman in .25 Rimfire

Up for sale is a Stevens Marksman chambered in .25 rimfire. It sports the marking J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company making this rifle a likely 110+ years old.

As expected with a rifle of this age, there is some pitting in the bore, and ammunition is scarce—this is very much a heritage piece rather than a modern daily shooter. The wooden furniture shows honest wear consistent with its years, adding to its character and making me wonder about the stories it could tell.

A beautiful and evocative piece of history, once handled by the boys and girls of yesteryear. If you appreciate the craftsmanship and stories carried by these old rifles this one may very well be for you.
