(I've not yet had my coffee) revealed a Stevens Favorite with a tubular magazine. 
Very interesting rifle, never seen one in person.
hint : not a stevens and it is a model 1886 [ nm ]

just my first impression on opening the post. It's also not a falling/rolling block (or whatever the Stevens Favorite is). I really should have my coffee before logging in.
having my second cup now

people, I am NOT "most people", but I LOVE the history behind the things. The 5 "W"s and how of the things fascinates me.
