| Brownells has the Talley Barrel Band...Stock number 874-014-590 For $29.95. The last three numbers in the stock number denote the particular barrel diameter, I think, 'cause they have several different bands for different barrel diameters. Last edited by JBS; 11-05-2007 at 05:02 PM. |

| I ordered and received from Midway Supply, a barrel band swivel made by "Uncle Mike's". While it is the same inside diameter .66, as the one I have on my first 219, it will not go as far toward the forearm as my existing one. I can only think that there is a difference in barrel diameters from one to the next. I have not had time to find my measuring tool to check it. I will keep everyone posted. I know you are all breathlessly awaiting further news! :-) Have a great Thanksgiving! Thanks JBS. I just now found your post. I have a current Brownell's catalog, and must have over looked these. Thanks again! Gunblue, I purchased a 219 a while back that had a set of unmounted Weaver bases. Numbers 86 & 55. However, I have not tried them. According to the package, the 86 was actually made for the Ruger #3 rifle. I have a scope on my .30-30 barreled 219 and my gunsmith, also a skilled machinest, modified and mounted a one piece Redfield base on it. It looks much better than the Weaver bases. My rifle is in storage right now and I can't provide you with the number of the Redfield base. Now, if Weaver says a 12 & 19, that is what I would buy. Good luck!

Hello Pajaro I have several times, but Sadly never seen any in .22 Hornet. I have on occasion seen the 30-30 Barrels but having one all ready I do not have a need for it. I do appreciate the heads up on it though.. Hammerdown | |

| I have had several people tell me they had tried to order the barrels from Numrich and could not get them. I am fortunate. So far I have the 20 gauge custom stocked gun shown in the above pictures, a .22 Hornet, .30-30, and .25-20, plus an extra 20 gauge barrel for the Hornet action. I would like to get the .32-20 and the shot barrels I am missing. These are really nice guns. |

| Hello to all, I just bought a Savage 220B, 16GA, 28" barrel, shotgun for my daughter and gave it to her for Christmas. I didn't know much about it so I started searching around and found this thread. The address is on it is Chicopee Falls, MA. On the left side of the receiver it's stamped (29K), is this the year and month it was made? Are barrels interchangable? Meaning, would a 20GA barrel fit on the frame without any gunsmithing work? How about rifle barrels? Are there any sources for butt stocks for this gun as I might want to cut it down to fit a youth but would like to put it back to adult size after she is grown? Thank you for all your help and wonderful pictures. Northman |

| Hello Northman I see this is you first post, welcome to the forum. What a Neat Christmas present to give your daughter, by the way, The Number and Letter you gave do Point to the Year her shotgun was made but it is nioot 1929 Like you would think. The model 220 A came out in 1937 and the Model 220 B was after that. Being that is was stamped Chicopeee Falls, says it was before they moved to Westfield so I would say it was made between the Late 1940's-1960's some time.I would NOT Cut the stock as they are not easy to locate for a replacment. The frame will take all Gauge Barrels along with the rifle barrels as long as you have the correct forearm as the larger Guage barrels have more rounded out of the top of them to fit the barrels correctly. I hope this helps, Hammmerdown |

| Hammer Down, Thank you for the information. For such an inexpesive gun, I only paid $69 for it, they seem to be hard to find. I guess most people keep them because they are so easy to use, being hammerless and all. That was the reason I bought when I saw it. I started my son out on a 20 gage NEF partner that has a hammer. At age 13 he had a hard time getting the hammer back when a partridge or woodcock would go up. He evetually out grew it so this past fall I had my 14 yr old daughter use it. Yup same problem. Everytime I went into a gun store I would be looking for a hammerless single shot shotgun. Well woudn't ya know it, I walk in to a gun store in northern NH and there it was. I love this gun as does she. I have a few hunting buddies who have kids, nephews and nieces who will be in need of one of these soon so our search is on. Thanks again Northman |

| Savage 220a Hi guys, I am so glad I found this site! I have a Savage 220a single barrel 20 ga. that has been in the family for 5 generations and my daughter is starting to hunt this year. Its our tradition that every new hunter starts with this single barrel to learn respect of one shot kills and the value of patience for the right shot. I have been looking for approx. 25 years for a rifle and .410 barrel for this gun. I know they were an option and some are still out there. If anyone can help me with the purchase of a rifle barrel for this I would be in debt to you forever. I have a great gunsmith so fitting isnt a problem. Im not looking to spend a fortune for it but if within reason I would send payment asap. Also, it doesnt matter what caliber it is as long as its large enough for whitetail sized animals. If anyone can help me find one please e-mail me at- mikenbarb@embarqmail.com Thanks, Mike |

| Savage 219 stock Are there any sources for butt stocks for this gun as I might want to cut it down to fit a youth but would like to put it back to adult size after she is grown? Numrich advertises the stocks and forearms for about $65 for the stock. I would not cut down the original stock for this rifle if it were mine. These are truly nice guns and I shutter to think what it would cost to produce one like it today. I have a stock that someone else cut down before I bought the rifle. The comb has been lowered and the butt plate removed and the edges rounded. You could not hurt this stock by further shortening it. If you are interested in it, email me at oopy38@msn.com and i will quote you a prepaid price for it. Be sure to put "219 Savage" in the topic section of the email so I will open it. Best Wishes. |

| Hello I ran into a bit of luck last weekend and came across this Pre-War Savage model 219 in .22 Hornet. I have been searching forever for one & I finally found one in .22 Hornet after Looking all these Years to only come across many in 30-30 caliber like I all ready have. I took it to the range with the Period correct 6 X Weaver rifle scope on it and shooting Factory Remington Ammuntion it really showed what a tack driver it truly is. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hello oopy The Plate is a Base for a Lyman Peep Sight that was once on there. A Pre-War gun will be made in Utica, New York, and will have no date stamp's on the receiver as they came later. Regards, Hammerdown | |

| 219 Savage Hammerdown, I have read and tried to understand all that has been written so far. I appreciate everyone who has contributed information on these rifles/shotguns. I have carefully examined all 4 of my guns. I have found no serial number on the frame of any of them. My Hornet has "4E" in a circle on the receiver. Can I safely assume it was made in May of 1941? One receiver is unmarked, but the other two have a "3" in a circle, with NO letter. Could this be an indication they were made in 1940 and maybe before a "month letter" was added? Just some general info for anyone who may be interested....the .30-30 was made in Utica. It is all blue, with a milled forearm attaching assembly, and the barrel has a milled ejector. Under the bottom of the barrel is "J" 102 "C". Under the butt plate stamped in the wood stock is "C" 102. Are these assembly or inspectors' marks? Also, the stock has a "fluted" comb. I hope this information will be of help and interest to someone. I have been to 2 large gunshows since I got serious about these guns, and I have not found a single one of either 219 or 220. Best Wishes to all. Last edited by oopy38; 02-15-2008 at 10:59 AM. Reason: Adding info |

| Hello Oppy The reason you are not seeing any stamping's what so ever on your Older Savage model 219's is because tehy never marked any Pre-War models from Utica, New York. The dates and Numerical letter system came much later and I do not have any reference material to date one with it. Regards, Hammerdown |

Hello oopy38 I received a Personal message froma Guy that Knows a Heck of a lot more about Savage's than I do, and he stated the following about your rifle. "If that is a number letter combo, remember when Savage started the date codes, they started in 1949 with the letter A, they left out O and Q it was made in 53 The Letter Prefix's you speak of are inspectors marks and more than Likely stood for the Inspector whose name was John Callahan. I hope this answers your question as the model 219's are very hard to find any information on and almost none is available for the Pre-War rifles, as they did not stamp them with any Date codes back then. Regards, Hammerdown | |
