This Stevens manufactured eighth variation receiver is for the Favorite single shot falling block rimfire rifle and is in very good condition exhibiting a grayish brown patina with light surface rust specks and possibly a few faint specks of pitting. This is the only part on the Favorite rifle that is tracked as a firearm therefore it will need to be transferred through a dealer. Receivers do not qualify as a C&R based on BATFE's guide lines.
