Gene,
Thank you for posting those great pictures and all that information. It looks like I have the early version.
I am hoping Gene will post a picture of the muzzle end of the ammo tube of the "tube clip" as I am missing that piece as well. I don't know if any other Savage model rimfires that may have a similar tube clip?
Now, if anyone has a source for the screws or a parts gun around, maybe I can purchase what I need. By some miracle, maybe someone will see the tube clip I am needing as well. If all else fails, I spoke to a semi retired gunsmith today who said he will make me one if necessary.
Thanks to everyone for everything so far.
Dave
