I seem to be started into a trend... I now have two Stevens rifles a Favorite and a Buckhorn model 56. I couldn't resist this Stevens Favorite yesterday It is a 22LR in fairly good shape. Here is a picture of it I took in the store with my cell phone. It needs a little cleaning up but it seems to be in working order. I'll clean it thoroughly and check it out before I take it out to shoot.http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r526/Strawdog22/StevensFavorite_zpsa4e9efc9.jpg

Cool I love those little guns. I found a really old one a while back chambered in .32 rimfire shot.(that's right shot not short) It was a real challenge to make shells for. Much harder than I anticipated. I think you'll have a ball with it.

I love these old guns.I make my own 32RF using this method. I make 32RF shot shells by using a "posted note" for a shot tube and #12 shot. Here is the site I got some ideas from.
