This one is missing some parts,like the lifter,pin and screw in middle of receiver. Took it all apart to inspect everything. I can not remove the firing pin even though the lifter and pin is gone. Looks to short to function. Any thoughts? I've included a pic of the chamber. Looks like firing pin was hitting low and buggered up in general. Ok? Not ok? Lastly I've read the receiver and barrel markings should match. These do not. So..... do I have a wall hanging here?

There is one set of mismatch inspection stamps that is correct, that's the one's on yours with a P on the barrel and an I on the receiver. I have seem an I on both, which came before this combination, but never two P's, and never a P on a receiver. All other stamps should match, this type of stamping appears to have started after Savage bought the company in 1920, guns earlier than that will not be stamped there. The combination on yous was used mid 1920's. If I remember right it should have a rubber butt plate, a little later they went to steel.

Get a chamber iron and smooth out the chamber, it might shoot just fine, just don't dry fire it after that. The firing pin should slide out if the lifer is out, the end of it might also be damaged from dry firing and is causing the problem.

Thank you. That was helpful info. Got the firing pin out. Need a new one.
