Vintage Savage Rimfires - Lets see em!

[Mad Dog]

I guess the 93R17 at the top isn't really vintage but the ones under it are.

Top-bottom:

Savage models 1904, 1905, 1903, 1909, 1911, 1912, 1922 (rare), 19-33, model 7, model 25 and lastly a post war model 29.

Darn, that 19-33 would look great on my wall.

[2footroper]

What? No 1914?

[davis911s]

Do you still have the 1904? I desperately need a photo and dimensions of the firing pin, in order to have one built. Hoping you can help

Thanks

Very nice collections gentlemen.

You've been busy Gene, seeing a lot more engraved ones then I thought you had.

Are those 1904's or 1905's with English butts, barrels look longer than 1904's but maybe it's the angle of the camera?

1904 'Junior Special's' The one on the right is just the stock and stripped receiver - matching numbers though and it's an early version with the fixed peep sight and the butt plate with all the advertising.

WOW! Those are sweet!

[davis911s]

Can someone post photos of what the firing pin and bolt are suppose to look like in the 1904

[davis911s]

Here is my bolt, it is missing the firing pin. Looking to see exactly what i need to get this working again

[Uncle Jack]

Isn't this wonderful....not a plastic stock on the page.

I bought a sight that was supposed to be for a Savage 22... turned out to be for a Ross bolt action. It did motivate me to actually try some of my sights on rifles to see what they looked like. I thought this thread isn't that old & is close enough to the subject to post them here.

Here are the sights plus some others -


Here are the three that I mounted, the O2S for the Ross has exactly the same holes as the S2S sights but is taller and sits at a slightly different angle. The longer S2S for the early 1903, 1909 and 1912 has a relief on the under side for the head of the tang screw.




Here they are mounted on guns, note the string through the O2S that shows it is slightly to tall for a standard front sight, also think of the sight radius on these examples -


The hole spacing on Savage's is the same as Marlin - here is the early S2S on a Marlin 1897 with the O2S lined up below to show the difference in height and angle -
