We are pretty certain W.I King did ~1899-1911. He may have carved extras for later use. Carving was not limited to 1 person, there were others. Documentation is slim.
WTF were they thinking when they created the 22 Savage HiPower?
I know literally what they were trying to do, but WTF were they thinking?
LOL
It was a collaboration. Charles Newton created one of the first successful attempts at creating a truly small-bore high-pressure cartridge. Savage jumped on board.
One piece of info?
That's so hard to pin down... I can do 2 off the top of my head. Not sure I can choose between the two, and could probably think of another 50 given time.
1) Why did Marlin stop makng 1895's after 5000 rifles?
2) Why was Arthur let go?
1 piece? Gotta start somewhere. Agree, dozens of questions.
We've read different things. No one knows exactly what the Marlin contract called for. Or if it was breeched for whatever reason.
Arthur was a wanderlust. As I understand it he had already moved to Duarte, CA seeking citrus fruit, gold mines and probably more. Meanwhile he was still under contract with Savage and on payroll from afar. I suspect Savage management felt like they weren't getting much for the money and discontinued the relationship.
