I can be either converted to center fire or it can be relined to 22 calibre, but the Favorite is NOT suitable for any more pressure than a 22 LR period. I have done several conversions to 32 S and Wesson but council against shooting modern longs. The favourite is NOT strong and the firing pin set up is poor for gas relief.
Hello Pause. That's a nice looking Stevens. I would love to find me a 44 1/2 project action with a barrel. Don't even have to have the wood with it. You're gonna have a lot of fun with the round ball workaround. I did that with my 38 cal #2 rolling block and the 6mm Floberts till I found a center fire block and converted it. They can still be tack drivers. I'm also glad we have Chev on here. He knows his models on these old guns. I still have not got it good in my mind what model is what. Ha. Ha. Have fun.
