Savage 110 Date of Manufacture

[motorcyclerider]

I just picked up a new to me gun to add to a growing collection. Maybe growing to much. This gun has be sitting for at least 4 years in a case at my local True Value. I wanted then and when I happen to go there today and it was still there I would not leave with out it. The reason it properly never found a home is because its for lefties like me. Any left hand gun I come across I try my best to get. Ok back to why I am posting here. The model number is 110L-H in 7MM REM MAG and the serial number doesnt start with any letter so I guess its older than 1968. The serial number on the bolt and barrel is 131057 any ideals when this Savage was born.

Can't help on the specific date, but would ask that in the future you start your own thread rather than hijack someone elses. I've split your post to it's on thread for that reason.

I have found out that it is pre 1968 due to no letter at the beging of the serial # but what year before 1968?
I know its a left hand. I am a lefty. But what does the H stand for in the model #? And why is the serial # etched in on the bolt? Its a beautful gun in really good condition. I will post better pics sometime today.

Here is more pics of my new favorite gun (besides my Savage .17). The barrel length is 24" and the stock is solid wood. Also there is no plastic anywhere like on my left handed 700BDL deluxe classic pictured below. If this gun was born sometime before 1968 it didn't get used much. And if it is that old you know there wasn't many left handed models made. This gun was definitely worth what I traded it for. It deserves a nice Leupold scope for sure. Then I am going to find out what year this thing was made and what the H means in it model # 110L-H if it take year to finally find out. Maybe these pics will help someone figure it out. :nevreness:

I heard people say Savage guns are ugly. I believe the pics below show other wise. Anyone else on this forum have one similar to mine?

Here is a pic of one of my more modern rifle. Its a Rem 30-06. Its beautiful but It uses plastic heavily.

No idea why the bolt is etched, bubba maybe, not factory though.

It is a 1968, I think.

I've been collecting dating info on the old 110's for a long time, yours is the highest serial number in my records yet.

The previous number is 129XXX made in 1968 so I'd hazard a guess yours is as well because in 1969 they went to the A series serial numbers (start with a letter).

See if you can find a small oval stamped on the barrel, this is a date code. I'll take a crazy guess and say yours has 6V stamped inside the oval.

[Mad Dog]

Actually, don't bother looking, I just saw it in the top picture, looks like 6V to me but it's kind of struck lightly.

Definitely a 1968.

Your right it has a 6V. But what does the H stand for in the model #

More pics. Clean for a 68

No idea what the H stands for, according to the 1968 catalog, what you have there is a model 110 MCL.

[LHitchcox]

Just a guess, but maybe Series H? The rifle looks almost identical to my 110CL except for the rear elevation bar. My rifle has a Lyman flip up rear sight. Mine was built in the early 1970s.

Joe's your man on dating and model identification. Not sure why you edited this thread and turned it into a poll - no need for that so I closed it.

Since it was obviously a factory defect by being made BACKWARDS and it's old, I'd take it off your hands for a couple hundred bucks or so. ;)

Never getting rid of this one. It's a keeper.

What does MCL stand for? Also could the H stand for the series?

[J.Baker]

M = Magnum
C = Detachable (clip) Magazine
L = Left Hand

L = Left Hand

Mine has no removable clip. There's only a steel plate being held on with 2 screws.

[motorcyclerider]

I'll post pics soon

Here's the 110 page from the 1968 catalog along with all the spec's for the different models.

If the stock is original it's either a 110ML or 110MCL. Given the stock is for a blind magazine I'd be inclined to say it's a 110ML, but looking at the photo's of the magazine box shows what appears to be a detachable magazine surround and box with all the release hardware in place. This schematic from Numrick's isn't much help either as it shows all three magazine variations in one schematic but doesn't specify what parts were unique to what model.
