When the 30-30 (SAV 30) option was added the stamping was added to the top of the brl in front of the receiver. We have collected data on the SAV 30 marking but not the earliest 303 SAV marking. The markings show up in the 13000 to 15000 range in 1900.
Ah. The one I have made in 1899 has the 303 as part of the barrel address and the other early 303s I have say "SAV 303" on the top of the barrel near the receiver. I don't own any that have "303 SAV". Thanks for the info.
