Found my Grandpas 1915 #17 with sheared firing pin. Yes we all know how that happened. Good tear down but dude, Lay off the caffeine!!!! It is OK if the vid is 30 sec longer. Mine is orig so no leaf but thanks for taking the time n sharing your tear down. Scary first time but this helps a lot. Had to edit cuz excited to watch your resto vids as well on the Little Favorite!!
Used small medicine bottles help store small sub assembly parts in projects like this. I just purchased a Stevens Favorite in .25 rimfire. Since it is quite pitted I am debating whether or not to reline the barrel for .22 caliber.
Yeah...my dad and uncle always used old medicine bottles (two of the finest old school gunsmiths I knew). If you can get the ammo, and if it shoots well, and if the pitting isnt too terribly deep, then it can be restored.
Great video of the take down. I was given a stevens favorite from my father-in-law. It is missing the two leaf springs and screws for them. Is there any places to get a new one. I am not sure the part number or if they even make new parts. This rifle was used by my wife’s grandfather and father so it’s a family heirloom I would love to get working again.
I have an original Steven’s Favorite model 1915 that my Grandfather bought when he was young! My question is where can I get one of the elevator rear sight ramps his was lost many many years ago and I’d love to teach my 7yr grandson how to shoot with it like I did with my father!
you might try ebay or Numrich gun parts. Also...Im not positive, but any step elevator from other models might work too. All else fails you might be able to make one out of thin mild steel.
i have an older 12 gauge stevens. I am looking for the name of a part. It functions as a barrel lock. It swivels on a pin and has tang or cam that keeps the barrel closed while you fire it. The one I have cracked 20 years ago and I had a gunsmith try to fix it, but the weld he put on it was insufficient and I've never shot it since. Does anyone know the name of this piece?
I have 3 of these now. The newest one has a serial number? of 79. It doesn't even say favorite. I really these videos as it makes you nervous taking something like this apart. Its not like getting parts for your 10/22
These are pretty simple guns for parts count. But it is necessary to assemble them in the correct order and position (ask me how I know :( ) . A good schematic (or RUclips video) can always be useful. Thanks for watching and commenting Scotty!

Yes. I would try Numrich or ebay first.

Recommend you try Numrich online to see if they have a good breakdown of the shotgun to look at (they may also have a replacement part).
I have an odd question. Is there any chance you could put up a RUclips Short of how you roll your sleeves?😂 I can't figure out how you do it 🤦♂️
Ahhhhh......sure?
I want one of those guns.
They are very cool!
Are you planning on doing the chemical "colour case" procedure on the receiver?
Yep!
@@SixRoundsStudio Turned out great on the Savage!!
What caliber is that you are working on
22 WRF
