I will check this evening when I get home, mine is a late in production s/n 29xx (I think I read some where that they supposedly they ended around ~ s/n 3000).  IIRC I also thought somewhere it was stated that the barrels were marked with the three digit model number, but mine does not have this, just the matching serial numbers.  Unfortunately at some point the barrel on this one was likely shortened down to 30" from something longer and a Remington front sight was added and the rifle also suffers from a crack at the wrist which has been glued and is tight.  One day I need to track down one of the earlier Stevens Vernier sight with the elevation know at the top of the staff and a palm rest that fits but for know i'm still tickled to have it.

its possible mine is stamped and I just don't know it as it could be hidden under whomever set the base for the palm rest.   About where is your barrel marked with the model number...(approximate distance from receiver).   

As I said I will look at the front of my receiver when I get home from work and respond, I can't quite see if from this photo I had on my work computer...almost looks like its blank...

I had never checked behind my buttplate for a serial number as I can hear a little rattling from the buttstock.  As I believe the buttstock was partially hollowed out and lead added to balance it out a bit.  I'm curious to get in there and see whats up, but always am running kiddos around instead of getting to play with my guns....   daw gone it..   I need to get my priorities straight...

Don't seem to run into to many of them....that's for sure..
Does yours have the two line APR.17.94 patent date roll stamp on the top flat of the barrel?

not re-barreled but rebored?   block switched to a CF
Btw nothing to be sad about if it shoots!..

Sorry, I miss interpreted your early post regarding the barrel marking of 22.  I was thinking you were referring to a caliber marking.   It is an earlier serial number and the .25-21 was supposedly brought to live in 1897.     For some reason I was thinking the 107, 108 and 109 went from 95 to 98?  which would work your chambering.. but I'm starting to forget more than I remember.....and those dates may just be wrapped around advertising, which can be misleading..

I think I recall that uscra112 and peterson2520ss had quite a bit of knowledge about Stevens serial numbers.
Bill Lawrence AC Gould and Joel black and several other folks on here that are way more knowledgeable than me when it comes to Stevens rifles...

I'm eager for a photo or two..    Good speaking with you.

Dellet states that his rifle's barrel, receiver tang, and buttplate have matching serial numbers.  If that number is the stated "223", Dellet's rifle was likely made in 1894, several years too early for an original chambering in .25-21, which was indeed introduced in 1897.

Hum-m-m-m!  As Miss Clavel would say, "Something is not right!"

And if "107" is the model number of Dellet's rifle, what's the barrel's accompanying "22" stamp?

This is what comes of having held several 100-series Stevens in my hot little hands but never owning one.

I'm slow today or cant read or both...  I got confused when he said the chambering mark is correct on the bottom after stating that it was chambered in .25-21  which from some reason led me to believe the gun had a .25-21 marking as well.    I was making it harder than it is...

thanks redsetter for setting me straight.  I need to adhere to that if you don't recall correctly don't post rule.
