J. Stevens A&T Company Tip-Up Rifle in .22 Rimfire, manufactured between 1888 and 1895. Between 1838 and 1864, Joshua Stevens worked for other New England gun makers, including Samuel Colt, Eli Whitney, Cyrus Allen, Edwin Wesson, and the Mass. Arms Co. In 1864, Joshua Stevens started his own factory in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts at the age of 50 with 2 partners, James Taylor and W. B. Fay. With the factory starting at the end of the Civil War, many gun manufacturers went under due to the surplus of guns flooding in. But, J. Stevens became a world leader in the arms market until the early 1900’s.
This one features an octagonal heavy barrel. The top of the barrel is marked “STEVENS & CO./CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. S.A.PAT.SEPT.6.1864.” Overall condition as seen in photos.
