How do you find out how old a Stevens 22 caliber tube feed bolt action rifle stamped J Stevens Arms Company with no model number or serial number on it is and what would it be called?

In: Savage Arms and J. Stevens [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

If you will tell us exactly how the company name is marked, we can probably place it within 10-15 years.

J. Stevens and Co. - 1864-1886
J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co (or A&T Co) - 1886-1916
J. Stevens Arms Co - 1920-1942
Stevens (or Stevens / Savage) - 1942-1991 (but with no serial number, before 1969)

The Stevens name was revived in the late 1990s, but so far only on updated versions of the single shot Favorite and Ideal models.

Stevens models 066, 086, and 66 are the only listings in the Standard Catalog for tube-fed bolt-action 22s. Are any of these numbers marked on the barrel or receiver? The exact model doesn't matter much as all the bolt-action 22s are listed under the same entry for $25 in poor condition and $150 in excellent condition.
