Answer

12/12/2006
Several of the early Stevens single shot rifles were available with smoothbore barrels chambered for .32, .38, and .44 shot cartridges. The 44 shot or 44 XL was a version of the 44-40 rifle cartridge loaded with birdshot. It is equivalent to a 2 inch 410 shotgun shell. WARNING A modern 410 shell may chamber in this gun (and if it will chamber, it will fire) but DON'T TRY IT if you want to keep all your body parts.

Where can you find information about a rifle marked J Stevens Arms Company 1913 on the barrel and 26 Crackshot and SVG on the sides?
Blue Book of Gun Values, Standard Catalog of Firearms, etc. The
Crackshot was one of the "boy's rifles" first manufactured by
Stevens in the late 1800's, but the 1913 patent date means yours
was made later. If you have written the entire company name as it
appears on the gun, it was made sometime after 1920 when Stevens
was bought by Savage Arms and before about 1948 when the Stevens
line was discontinued.
