Sorry- that is a serial number, and conveys no information. If the barrel is not marked, you need to take it to a gunsmith who will measure the chamber- not only for gauge, but for the correct shell length. Just because an unfired shell fits does not mean it is the correct shell. And it is not a rifle, but a shotgun.

depends if its a sweet sixteen and in good condition abput 1000

it depends its about 1950-1970s

$75

Riverside Arms Company in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts made and sold guns and ammunition to customers. The US Pat Feb 10, 1914 refers to a firearm that was produced by the company.

If this is the model 215, the barrels are steel.

The Model 215, a hammer gun, and the model 315, a hammerless

That was a trade name used by Stevens on guns made for catalog/hardware stores. Would need to know which model, etc, to provide further information.

Utility grade shotgun made by Stevens for catalog distribution. Have a good gunsmith check it over before you attempt to use it. sales@countrygunsmith.net

well, have many collections and for the gun you are talking about if in good condition is worth around $2500 but in okay or bad condition it is worth around $700-$2000. it depends on who you are talking to. If the person posting the first reply is talking in US Dollars, I'd like to sell him a few guns. This gun is worth $100-$250, depending on condition, less if it is a basket case and a little more if like new.

Riverside guns were made by J. Stevens Arms Co, about 1900 +/- 15 years.

Riverside shotguns aren't rare, but the .44 shot cartridge is. If you want to shoot it, you may pay more for a box of shells than the gun is probably worth. The gun will bring $75 to $150, depending on condition. I have a VERY OLD price list for collectable cartridges that says the shells are worth $1 apiece, but I'm sure that price could be multiplied by 4 or 5 by now.

About $75 to $100, retail. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Stevens/Savage used the Riverside name from about 1920 to 1945.
