Need some help identifying these rifles. No markings but serial numbers. Thinking Steven's, with replaced barrels. All three are 22lr. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok that makes sense. So confusing. Do you think the barrels are replaced considering there are no markings?
I can't see much in the photos, but other than swapping barrels from other similar Stevens/Savage Crackshot/Favorite products, changinging the barrels is unlikely.

Even I have an old Favorite parts gun collecting dust.
 
One more thing...
There was a lot of metal on these barrels. If someone needed to refinish the metal, the barrel could be polished or turned down a long way and still have lots of metal left, possibly removing the engraving.
 
My dad had one of these as a boy. That would have been around 1910, so these models have been around a long time. There are lots of variations and lots of shade tree gunsmithing going on.
 
Those look more like a Stevens 44 1/2 than the Favorite. it is a true falling block, the Favorite is a "tilting block"
The 44 1/2 series was a target rifle, had very good triggers, and heavy barrels.
There are some youtube videos on the 44 1/2 action. Good Luck DR
 
There are people who pay a premium for good actions. The rifles are still used in schuetzen matches. They are shot standing, unsupported.
If you are interested look up the American Single Shot Rifle Association or ASSRA.
And there is a Company that still makes those rifles, and parts for the old ones
Look up CPA rifles. DR
