This rifle is an original J. Stevens Arms Company “Favorite” Model 1915 single-shot rifle, manufactured in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, USA. The Stevens Favorite series is one of the most iconic early 20th-century American sporting and training rifles, widely used for marksmanship practice, small game hunting, and youth instruction.
This example is chambered in .25 Stevens Rimfire, an obsolete cartridge that was popular in the early 1900s for small game and farm use. The barrel is clearly marked “J. Stevens Arms Company – Chicopee Falls, Mass. U.S.A. – 25 Stevens,” confirming correct factory markings and caliber designation. The rifle features the classic falling-block single-shot action, external hammer, and compact Favorite Model 1915 receiver configuration.
The wood stock is in solid condition with honest age-related wear consistent with its vintage, and the metal components show an even, well-preserved patina. The bore shows visible rifling and remains in good condition for its age, which is a notable positive for a rifle of this type and era.
Due to the obsolete nature of the .25 Stevens Rimfire cartridge, this rifle is best suited for collectors, historical firearms enthusiasts, or display purposes. Stevens Favorite rifles remain highly collectible as representative examples of early American sporting arms and are increasingly difficult to find in complete, unmodified condition.
