Jack,
<br>
<br>1) I would guess your 29-A at around 1950
<br>2) The 29 receiver was used on Savage, Stevens and house brand rifles. The L = Savage
<br>3) I don't think Savage made the 25 and the 29 at the same time, so if the 29 was late coming out there might have been 5 years production...so may be 1927or 28 (?)
<br>4) There is very little variation in the 1914 or the 25. The early 29's had groved forearms and oct. brl. while the later pre-war rifles went to the checkered butt and forearm and oct. brl.. These rifles would be pre-4x,xxx serial. The later pre-war style seems to be very hard to locate. I'm still looking for one.
<br>5) 29-B, last version made, is grooved for a tip-off mount.
<br>
<br>Rick....
