When was a J Stevens lever action repeater stamped 22 LR on the barrel but takes 218 bee ammunition Serial no 571542 made?

Answer 1

I don't see any J Stevens .22 lever action repeaters in any of the books. You have an unusual rifle that sounds like it may have been rechambered for .218 Bee or it may be a custom factory special order. You should have it examined by a gunsmith or advanced collector.
