What are the age history and value of a J Stevens model W249 single action 25 cal rifle?
The one and only box of Stevens .25 rimfire cartridges that I ever saw was in a Coop Store about 1960 or so. My Dad showed them to me as a curiosity. I have never seen a firearm chambered for that cartridge, and I've never seen one advertised for sale in any catalog. I would guess..and that's all it is..that guns in that caliber were not made after WWII or shortly after. It would be fun to try one out, I think. I know this isn't historically complete, but it should give you an idea.
AnswerThe Stevens 25 rimfire cartridge was introduced sometime between 1890 and 1900 and discontinued about 1942. I can't find any reference for a Model W249, but the #15 Crackshot and Favorite rifles were available chambered for this cartridge. AnswerI noticed a comment that the reader had never seen a box of 25 caliber rimshot cartridges. i have my fathers gun when he was a child (20's- 30's) and also a full box of cartridges for the rifle as well. They are Western cartridges, 25 Stevens Rim Fire and a patial box of Remington, kleanbore 25 Stevens Short Cartidges. Do these also date to the 30's? Dick.Gleason@Pergo.com AnswerActually, Cartridges of the World lists 3 .25 rimfire cartridges. The .25 Short was made for several inexpensive handguns from about 1860 until 1920. The .25 Stevens Short was originally a black powder load when it was introduced in 1902 but was being loaded with smokeless powder when it was discontinued about 1942. It was a shorter version of the .25 Stevens which MAY have been available from Peters as early as 1890 but was definitely being produced by 1900. Again, it was introduced as a black powder load only, but was being loaded only in smokeless by the time it was discontinued about 1942.
