Christmas Favorite

This holliday I rebuilt an 1894 Stevens Favorite. I bought a rusty action and a shot out 25 cal barrel with a forend. I used a Cooey barrel to make a new barrel in the Stevens barrel except it is now 26” long. I put a new buttstock and buttplate on it. The rear sight is a Marbles sight with windage and elevation but it came with a big block for mounting to a new Marlin so I cut that off and silver soldered on a new sight base. The front sight was a long wierd looking Lyman 17 so I cut it down and lowered it right down to the barrel. The action was casehardened, the barrel rust blued and the screws and bits nitre blued. Today I had it at the range and it shoots like a charm. I planned on selling it when I built it but I may have to keep it for a while and play more with it.
