Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Steel / pot metal rotor in early 1899's

Here's some pics of what we are discussing. The rotor is not magnetic except for the bushing at the end that engages the rear carrier support hole. I'd say it is pot metal that is coated with tin to make it shiny. I've never seen one above the 40,000 range and they seem to be used at random up to there.
