I finally found a Single Shot Long Action Standard shank. When were they made and how many did they make? How do I find another one?
I am not talking about the "J" action. I am interested in information about the actual LA with the 5 inch screw spacing.

Only Savage can tell you how many they made, give them a jingle.
What is the SN? That tells us something.
I didn't know they had a single shot LA.
I too would like one.
They are not that rare. They made them from 1989 till 2005.
FYI- a J series doens't have anything to do with action length. J's were just a designation that started in 1966.
What you are referring to is a 1st generation short action. 1959-1988.
All long actions have always had the 5.062" bolt spacing.
Gunbroker has a .223 single shot 110 listed right now...
Sorry, make that a 112...Quote:

Yes, 100 series are long actions. Savage used 100 series for their short action cartridges before creating the series 10. And comma I believe after that comma on occasion put short action Barrels on Long actions.Quote:

Even crazier Savage nuts might just take an extra 100 series action and put a short action Barrel on it as a Franken Savage.
Not gonna take the time to find a link, but if you use the search function and look for a used 223 Savage it will be in the results.
