Please list the markings on the gun, and doublecheck that information. The patent date is certainly not 1794 since that type of rifle did not exist then. If you can send a digital picture we'd be glad to correctly identify the rifle for you. sales@countrygunsmith.net That date is April 17, (18)94. It would have been manufactured between that date and 1916 when the company was sold to New England Westinghouse. We will still need all the markings on the rifle, as there were several different variations of Boy's Rifle.
There were many variations of these rifles. We'd have to see digital pictures to ID it. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Stevens made many different models of rifle during that time period. Any way you can tell us which model you have? Or caliber? sales@countrygunsmith.net

I got mine at a garage sale for $100. 5 years ago.
