Watch most of your videos. Thank you for them. I have a Stevens 1915 and I do shoot mine (22lr) Love that rifle. It is an original without the Savage on the side of the receiver. Looking forward to watching you do this episode. I will be following as I am subscribed.
@@SixRoundsStudio Still okay around here - just got in a driveway full of firewood, now I have to move it around to the back and stack it! LOL I don't move quite as fast as I did 50 years ago! Hope all is well with you - and watch your six around election time!!
Awesome video, first I've seen you, but I subscribed. 👍 My dad had one of these in 22LR. BARREL was in rough shape, so back in the 60s, dad's gun Smith friend swapped out the barrel for a match, bull barrel, then mounted a Weaver 6 power scope. It was dad's favorite squirrel rifle. Then in the 90s his shop burned and the rifle was in there. All that was left was the action and barrel of course. I rebuilt that rifle, made a new forend from scratch, and converted a butt stock from a model 97 Winchester, pump 12 gauge to fit it. I gave it to him for Christmas, he had no idea I even had the rifle. 😊
@ he cried when I gave it to him, he thought he'd never see it again in great shape. It will be 3 years since he died in January. That gift of the rifle is One of the great memories of him.
I bought a 1915 back in 2000 because I liked it. I still do. Someone refinished the reciever by silver washing it. I just need to work on the trigger. I think whoever messed with it made the trigger pull horrendous. I look forward to your next videos on this.
My gunsmith restored one for me wood was great shape. It was for my only grandson( he was 4yo) had it engraved by a90 yo man he also checker it . Barrel was really bad so replace with an octagon barrel. It was his last job and he really did it up. Grandson is 20 now, the rifle looks as good as day I pick it up.
Yep...not locking up is a typical problem with these old rifles....as is poor rifling. But they are a beautiful design both engineering and aesthetically. Thanks for watching John!
Own two of those, one in .22 and the other in .32 caliber, the 32 is in better condition externally. The only problem with the .22 is that when shooting it I need to keep pressure on the lever to ensure the block stays closed. Other than that, it is a fun little rifle to plink with.

Would like to see more work on these rifle repairs and less talking, history of firearms is good to learn and know about but viewing the steps of each repair is very interesting to me. Thank you for sharing.

@@jeffstanfield5070 Thank you Jeff. These are amazing little rifles.
Great project, Bill! Good to see you again, too! Might encourage me to restore my old Favorite! 👍
@@kbjerke Hey Karl! Been a bit since I have heard from you. Hope all is well up there in the north country.

@@maniachill3069 Wow…that is a cool story. It’s amazing what these old guns can mean to families. Thank you for watching and sharing that story.
Great to hear your family story, "Dad's rifle " likely brought a big smile when you were able to return it to him.

Pretty cool Bill

I love that these old firearms (any firearm really) get loved and passed down generations. It is the real story of the gun community!
Yesterday I picked up a 1894 in .22 LR. I need to re-line the barrel, but the receiver is in really nice shape. The lever over-center's nicely.

The lockup can be a typical problem with these. Sometimes the locking cam gets worn or is installed backwards. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Always an education Bill...
@@tedmaas3588 Thank you Ted!
@@tedmaas3588 Thank you Ted!
Since the receiver is larger on the Gen2 than the Gen1, is the forestock and/or buttstock interchangeable?
Interesting question. I dont know. I will have to check that out and maybe do a short or a comment on my "community tab" here on the channel. Hmmmmm?
Bill, i have one of those with a smooth bore 32 long rim fire. Could that Favorite be a Smooth bore as well?
@@mikerobinson6606 Yeah Mike, I considered that, and it may be. I need to take a deeper dive with better light.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback.
stevens favorite must be your favourite also
@@rgbgamingfridge Well…they are pretty cool! 😉
I have 2 different kinds of them
@@Steve-ju8hb Nice! Hard to beat an old Steven’s rifle.
@@SixRoundsStudio both are missing parts. Just wall hangers or part
