There was an overwhelming number of models of Stevens Tip Up rifles made. Would have to get considerably more details and/or pictures to make a determination.
I have a J Steven arms Model 37 Ranger looking for a bolt for it. harley01paul@yahoo.com
The caliber of the firearm should be stamped on the barrel.
Mainly identified by features, not a stamped number.
often the model and maker are stamped on the weapon
The Stevens will accept whatever caliber designation is stamped on the side of the barrel.
If it's an NFA tax stamped device or firearm, yes. If it's a typical Title I firearm (your 'everyday' sort of gun), no.
The Riverside trade name was used by J. Stevens from 1915-mid 1940's. You MIGHT be able to get a precise date by contacting the Stevens historian. savagearms.com should have his contact information.
Yes. Some are stamped Stevens by Savage Arms Co.
Stevens had the "Favorite" line of .22 rifles.
The "J.Stevens" name was shortened to "Stevens" in 1940. What you need to look for is the chamber size, which should be stamped on the barrel. It needs to be 2 & 3/4 inches to shoot modern ammo. Also Stevens usually stamped near the chamber size if the barrel was proof tested. My Stevens single is stamped "Proof Tested Steel" and it handles modern ammo well, but kicks like a mule. To be really safe, let a gunsmith look at it.
Should be a .25 ACP. It should be stamped on the firearm.
One that has a reciever made by metal stamping rather than machining. The AK47 is one such gun.
