Can you help me identify this savage .22?

OUTSIDER · 08-17-2004, 09:28 AM

I am hoping that somebody can help me. I have an older Savage .22. It has a hexogonal barrel. I can not find a model # on it anywhere. A friend of mine that has some knowledge of rifles disassembled it and said something about it being hand filed and that the serial # we found was hand stamped. It is a .22 short, long and long rifle. It is a pump action with a clip and has a scope, model # 329 made by the W.R. Weaver company. Any help would be great. THANKS!

According to the 2004 Standard Catalog of Firearms, the only Savage pump-action with octagon barrel and box magazine is the Model 1903 - made from 1903 to 1922. Values: Exc. $350 VG. $275 Good $200 Fair $100

Nothing else really said. Cute little rifle.

Is it shootable? What is the overall condition?

The rifle needs cleaned, but is in great shape and is shootable. The scope's cross hairs are messed up. I am not sure what happened. I have heard that the scope did not come with the rifle, and is from about 1945 or so. Thanks for your help with this.

That old Weaver scope should be repairable. I don't have the info myself just now, but one of the other guys can probably tell you where the service company is for the old vintage Weavers. I don't think the current Weaver company repairs the oldies anymore.

This same gun was given to me by my girlfriend after her father passed away. It is in good shape and functional, but it's missing the clip/magazine. Any ideas where I might be able to get one? Thanks
