gnbrown97---Out of curiosity I searched for info on a 220D on the web, found some reference to it and to its apparent cousins of the same number but with different alphabetic letters, ie. 220C, 220DL, etc. Being not familiar with the model about I could figure out was that there was a base 220 model with other models having 'bells and whistles'. I couldn't find my Numrich catalog that has a ton of schematics of firearms to see if it had any on the 220D, but online at Numrich, it had schematics of a 220, 220C, and a 220DL. Viewing the online schematics I couldn't tell any difference, not to say there isn't any. 'Bout all I can say!
According to Bill West’s “Savage and Stevens Arms & History”, page 15-33, the letter suffix denotes various equipment added to the basic 220 shotgun. The caption under the catalog photos and description reads:
“Fig. 15-33: 1939, Model 220, ($21.50) Single-Shot, Shotgun similar to Utility Series. To denote “Poly Choke”, the “P” was added. (“C” used for Cutts, “L” for Lyman, “R” for Redfield at times.) Above made to 1947. From 1955-56, Model 220 was revived and 36” barrel 12-ga. added. In 1965, Model 229-L replaced it.”
Ole’ Bill West’s book is a “tough read”, as I have to read “between the lines”. . .a LOT!!
I see NO MENTION anywhere of a 220D, but of course, we know there IS one!
Sometimes all a letter designation is is nothing more than a small change in the manufacture of the rifle or shotgun.
For example if one part had been acting up on several rifles and a new part had to be made to rid the firearm of the problem they would designate a letter to it. Could have been a cast part and they changed it to a bent metal replacement, etc.
Savage- "never say never".
Savage Arms 220 are built according to the rifle design of 110 models with a rifled barrel, Turkey hunting models, which were previously available only by special order. Rifles with manual reloading with a longitudinally sliding bolt and rotary locking are not so common on the market, but the time-tested high-reliability platform has many supporters.
Show as the Savage 219 single shot rifle but it is the same action as the 220 single shot shotgun. The "D" model 220 is the same as the middle diagram of the 219B. The 220, 220A was a striker fire, the 220B through 220D & L was hammer
