Geez Louise, David. All you needed was a vise and a pipe wrench.

Maybe you have to look at why factories stamp barrels in the first place. There’s a reason why that information is there and I’m sure it has more to do with federal laws than it does for advertising and the entertainment of historians. Maybe the stamp in itself was more important than the accuracy of its information. I’m just spit ballin’ here but maybe it had something to do with things like taxes and protecting patents than it actually had to do with where the part was made. Maybe in that context Savage didn’t give a second thought to a Utica stamped barrel going out of Chicopee Falls. It’s just we who might be imposing a different kind of imprtance on it.

I'm betting my DL has the post mil threads.
S99VG brought up a good point although the government wasn't messing with things like this much until 1968.
The Browning Brothers stamped Savage 1899's they sold with their address which was probably just advertising. I think I heard they stamped Winchesters also and probably all the guns they sold. This is a fun topic but I bet we never get the whole story.
wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

They have been fighting this fight, albeit maybe not with such lack of reasoning , long before 1968. https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/national-firearms-act
