Ahhh, that explains a lot on why I keep finding guns listed at auctions as being a model 1906 and they turn out to be 1903's.
The 1914 is the only pump Savage I'm missing.

Savage- "never say never".
I decided, based on all the comments to not get the 1914 blued.
this gun has on the top of the bbl in front of the back site
"patented December 26 1906 others pending"
then on top of the bbl in back of the back site it has "MODEL 1914" 22 S L & LR
THE SERIAL # ON ALL LOCATIONS IS 10042
BOBB, I think you made the right decision. That gun, with wear and marks on it, will be the kind that get's the comment "oh the stories that could tell!"
The serial number and barrel stamped make it a pre-WWI gun so it's pushing 100 years old. The patent date is actually December 25, 1906 and that is the patent for the 1903 clip-magazine fed pump; much of the 1914 tube fed is the same and was still covered by that early patent. Later 1914's will have two additional patents on them that cover the changes for the tube magazine - those are the patents that were 'pending'. The Model 25, that replaced the 1914, is stamped with the same patents as the 1914 because it was basically just an improvement and not a new design.
thanks Sav22
im looking for a new brass tube for the inner magazine tube. I'v tried all known internet resources but no one has it.
it is about 18 1/2" long. would any savage .22 brass tube work if it is at least 18 1/2" long?
