#Savage rifle models serial numbers#
To differentiate, the models with serial numbers 25,000 to 45,000 were listed as the Model 19 NRA Match Rifle. The earlier guns (serial numbers below 25,000) were listed as the Savage Model 19 O.S. I am still trying to find out what magazine was sent with the guns in 22 SHORT - I have never seen a magazine for one just marked for 22 SHORT.įrom older Savage parts schemtics I found that the Model 19 NRA had 3 major variations, at least in the Savage parts listings. These 1923 versions were also offered in 22 SHORT, not just the early ones. The 1919 NRA was updated in 1923 with the 'new 23A' bolt. It is there on the back edge of the receiver ring.

Many people think early 1919s, 22s and 23s have no serial #. These are general rules, as many sub-variants have been encountered, probably due to using left over parts as we also encounter in 99s.

Italicised notes here are taken from an online forum, discussing the subject rifle,Īnd they succinctly list the salient points for identification and configuration of the models. Respectively in half-inch and one inch bull's eyes.Īn interesting, but perhaps unsurprising claim was thatĪt 100 yards it would outshoot the then current U.S. The groups shown for the rifle at 25 and 50 yards were pictured in the 1919 advertisement The action, with the serial number stamped between the bolt-handle and the port. "Literary Journal" carried an advertisement introducing the new rifle.
