The Winchester may be a '92 if it is in 25-20. Is it possible the semi-auto could be a 22 magnum in stead of a 22 Hornet? Just asking.


You may very well be right about the Winchester, the .22 is definitely a Hornet. I'll call my dad later and ask what model it is. The more I try to recall it the more I think I'm wrong about it being a semi auto, now I'm thinking it's a bolt action.

They say when you get older your memory is the... wait what was I saying?

I dug out the Savage, here's the barrel stamping:

Savage Arms Co. Utica, N.Y. U.S.A.
Pat Feb. 7 '93. July 25 '93. Oct. 3 '99. Cal..30

The second 9 in the Oct. 3 '99. is obscured like maybe a defect. I'll bet that's why I was thinking it's a 1893.

30-30 stamped on the receiver end of the barrel.

The serial # is 23.1XX. Stamped across receiver bottom in front of trigger guard.

It's in better condition than I remembered and, as far as I can tell, all original with no mods and not drilled for scope mount.

I'll post the pics in the am.

Thanks,
Brian
