Hi, I just joined, have been a fan of the Savage 19 for a while. I have being shipped a strange bird, it's a Model 19 in .22 Hornet, and is marked as a Savage Sporter. It has the beavertail front end and a barrel band. The no. 10 rear sight and a blade front. It also has checkering that looks factory to me. My questions are:
Will Cody letter a model 19? Their website doesn't list it.
Will a factory ledger mention checkering?
Thanks

Thanks, I did before posting. It didn't give the answers to my two questions. Nor does the Cody letter website.
A letter won't mention factory standard checkering. It may or may not mention special order checkering, or it might just list a work order number even if it was special order.
Thanks, good to know. I won't spend my money on one then.
I got it last night, too late to take good pictures. But it looks better than I hoped. Good wood, metal, and bore.
Ooooooo, that’s pretty
Somebody did very good work on that. I think the buttstock checkering style is aftermarket. I got one like it with aftermarket checkering, looks good and shoots even better.
