Hi Guys, I thought I'd share a couple pictures of a 1906 Savage .22pump which I cleaned up for a WWII vet to put on auction. He can use the bucks so a friend and I am helping.
Turns out it's a upgrade GH model with better wood and checkering. Has the silver blade front sight and the 05 patent date adjustable barrel sight. Decent rifling remains. I shot it at the range and it did about 1.25" at 25 yards with my iffy eyes. I have located an original mag for it and that is on the way so the gun will be complete. Don't blame the metal condition on me. It came to me that way, I just cleaned with Ballistol and brass wool. No damage done. At sometime someone wiped it off with the wrong stuff because the bluing is fine under the sight, stock and forend.
Too bad. For a hundred year old gun, the wood is in astonishing condition. In particular for a .22.
Thought you'd like to see it.
