The 44 shot is the American fore runner of the 410. The Stevens uses a 44-40 shell loaded with bird shot. The most famous gun to use this round was the Marble Game Getter, a pistol with folding stock, a 22 long rifle rimfire upper barrel and a 44 lower barrel. Marble marketed the gun (1908) by stating that you could fire the 44GG or 44XL in the lower barrel. The 44GG is a 44-40 loaded with a round ball, the 44XL is the 44-40 loaded with about 1/3 oz of bird shot. The 410 was already in use in England at this time. Greener mentions the 410 in 1879. By about 1915 it began to make an appearance in the US as a 2" brass load. By the late 1920's the 410 had dominance and the 44 shot was not being chambered in any new guns, though it was continued in production until the late 1940's or early 1950's by some ammunition companies.
Please be aware that modern 44-40 ammunition shoult NOT be fired in vintage firearms marked 44 shot, 44GG or 44XL.
If .44-40 rifle ammo can not be used in the 44 SHOT J. Stevens Arms and Tool single shot lever action with hammer. Then what kind of ammo sold can be used in it? Even though it is a smooth bore can a single projectile be fired out of it (similar to a 12 ga. slug shot out of a non rifled barrel)? Can the pest control rim fire ammo made in .44 cal be used( this is rim fire ammo though for a center fire gun, does that even work)?
