I am trying to nail down just when the Stevens Favorite extractor moved from the seven o'clock position in the receiver to the six o'clock position. Perkins says Stevens changed the design in 1898. DeHass says it moved "in about 1901". Anybody have more information??

  Frank de Haas's book, "Single Shot Rifles & Actions". Has a section on Favorite's. That was a early 1900's variation to keep the lever closed, after a lot of shooting. No dates or production figures known, other then "Stevens A & T CO.", was last used in 1916.
