I believe the only issue was with the 22 Hornet these guns wouldn't stand up to, and so the Hornet was discontinued after only a few years (if I remember it right and that might have been in the 418 series), and DeHaas says it would be marginal on the 22WMR. Trouble is he doesn't say what sights were on which model-maybe go to the sight reference books to find out? Sounds like you might have a Favorite 1915, either model 28 or 29 (depending on sights) that was special ordered in 22 WRF.īelieve me, I'm no expert like Toomkr and others, but just a thoughtĪlso, yes, both the special order pre-1915's and the 418 seemed to be OK with the 22WRF from what I read, including DeHaas on pg. 28 and 29, which were the same as the No 27, but furnished with different sights, as in the case of the earlier No 18 and 19".

It also says the models 18 and 19 were the ones fitted with different sights including tang rear sights, but then it says at the bottom of the left column that the 18, 19 and special order rifles were "generally" discontinued by 1915-but then your gun is a 1915?ĭoes it have a really low serial number for a 1915? If so, might it be a transition or overlap gun, meaning one of the first 1915's, but just before they discontinued the models 19, 20 and 22 WRF special orders? To further confuse things, in the middle column of pg 106, DeHaas says "A new number was introduced at this time (1915), namely the No. Slumlord-I have DeHaas first edition book, and you're right that on page 106, left column, it does say that the Favorite was made in 22 WRF as a special order only, but does not give the years anywhere. Seems like most of the interesting Stevens I buy end up being a puzzle. 22 WRF Favorite barrel that sold on Gunbroker a while back. Forend matches the 1915 contour rather than the earlier gun but is somewhat shorter than the rest of my 1915 guns. He does not mention what time frame it was offered.
22 WRF was only offered in the Favorite for a short period of time. would be appropriate on a Favorite made betwen 19. Near as I can tell from Bill West's book, the J. The pre 1915 gun I have with an octagon barrel is marked totaly different. They are script letters and the WRF is block letters. Script on the caliber marking is different from my. Caliber marking is on the left side per photo. I went through all my Favorites and checked a couple of my reference books. Front sight apears to be Stevens 205 Beach Combination Sight but could possibly be Lyman 5. Anybody else know anything about this one? 22WRF I have seen was a barrel only on Gunbroker recently.

Will post some pictures as soon as I can remember how to get photos from my computer to photobucket.
22 WRF could have been available without being in the catalog. It could be a 1915 with an earlier barrel and sights added but the gun looks too good to have been cobbled together. They also do not show the Lyman sights that I have as an option, which really does not mean much because you could pretty much order what you wanted. My 1914 and later catalogs do not show the. I have a fair collection of Stevens Repo Catalogs and the last mention I can find of the Favorite offered in. It is a Model 1915 with full hex barrel, Lyman #5 combination front sight, Lyman #6 folding rear leaf sight, and Lyman 1A rear tang sight chambered in and marked.
