Info needed on J. Stevens lever rifle
I recently inherited an very nice rifle made by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. and so far I've not been able to find any info on it at all. It's a lever action, marked:
Stevens High Power
425 Nickel Steel
PAT Mar. 15.29.1910
J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co.
Chicopee Falls, Mass, U.S.A
Cal. 35 Rem
The rear sight is marked:
D.W. King
Pat Mar.5,07
Serial no. is in the 3000 range.
It seems to be very well made, not fancy, but nicely done. I'd like to know more about it, but I've drawn a blank from the Gun Traders Guide and the internet. I did find out that the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. mark was used from 1886 to 1915, if that helps.
Thanks,
Randy
