J. Stevens A&T Co. Model 75 Hammerless Pump-Action .22 LR Rifle | 24" Barrel, 15-Round Tube, 1928-1934 Production
Produced for only six years and in limited numbers, the J. Stevens Model 75 stands out as a scarce, hammerless pump-action rimfire that bridges early Stevens designs and later Savage offerings. Chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle with a 15-round tubular magazine, it combines a smooth walnut stock, ribbed fore-end, and classic blued steel construction that appeals to shooters and collectors seeking a hard-to-find piece of American rimfire history.

What’s Included
- J. Stevens A&T Co. Model 75 pump-action rifle
Approximately 19,000 Model 75 rifles left the Chicopee Falls factory between 1928 and 1934, making this example notably scarce among Stevens repeaters. Its hammerless action was a forward-looking feature for the era, offering a streamlined profile while retaining the familiar under-barrel pump layout.
The rifle feeds from a 15-round tubular magazine and accepts .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle interchangeably, providing flexibility for target practice or small-game roles. A 24-inch blued carbon-steel barrel delivers the classic balance and sight radius favored by rimfire enthusiasts.
Walnut furniture adds traditional appeal. The straight-comb stock ends in a steel crescent buttplate, while the ribbed walnut fore-end gives a positive grip during fast cycling. Both wood components remain uncheckered, matching Stevens’ utilitarian aesthetic of the period.
Factory iron sights consist of a dovetail front blade and an open rear leaf (elevator missing). Collectors value the Model 75 as a transitional design that preceded Stevens’ integration into Savage Arms, capturing a brief chapter of American .22 innovation.
