Product Description

1. STEVENS Arms Co. “IDEAL” No. 44 .25 Cal. Rimfire FALLING BLOCK Rifle C&R

Early 20^th Century Single Shot Falling Block Varmint Rifle!

Here we present a Stevens Arms & Tool Co. Ideal No. 44 Rifle, made around the turn of the 20^th Century in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. This rifle cannot be precisely dated since the Stevens factory records were burned in their entirety. Production began in 1894 and went on through 1916. This rifle is chambered in .25 Caliber Rimfire, a very effective cartridge for small game with minimal recoil. This rifle was manufactured right around the time that Stevens Arms & Tool Company was becoming the largest producer of sporting firearms in the world. By 1915, Stevens was a leader in the American arms business as a maker of target and small game hunting guns.

This rifle would have been great for small game and target shooting. It features a hefty part-octagonal, part-round barrel and adjustable sights. This would have been the rifle that a boy learned on, plinked and hunted with. Its falling block loading system was strong, simple and reliable. It also taught the shooter how to make the shot count as it was not a repeater.

The overall condition is excellent. Original blue and case color finish. The action is excellent. The bore is in great shape with sharp rifling. The stock is smooth and solid.
