Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Who wants pictures from Maine? *****

You sure about that. I'll bet tomorrow's lunch that's a M1920. Look at the trigger guard and receiver and length of fore arm and compare to a M40.

Well, I understand your point - the schnabel tip is really slender for a 40. But pretty sure I can see a magazine. Here’s a model 40.

The marketing department in 1935 likely did some creative manipulation to turn an earlier picture with a 1920 in it into a model 40 that they had for sale. Advertising a gun that’d been discontinued 7 years earlier would be bad marketing.





This one looks... familiar. And that’s definitely a 1920.

How’s Thai food sound?

Spectacular string.
Spectacular photos.
Spectacular bunch of contributors, that appear to be some real characters.
Thank you!

Look close, the picture shows the stock relieved for a removable magazine so the picture was tweaked a little … so technically it pictures features of both and depending how you look at it your either both right or both wrong.....

Ramp front sight and removable magazine.. I definitely claim to be the mostest right. 75/25 maybe..

So, we both spring for our own meal! I submit that possibly/probably the artist who prepared the lithograph stone for the poster from that photograph did indeed take some liberties with the rifle. Probably a guy who hunted deer with a M40 and was peeved that Andrews carried a 1920.

My Chrone's is acting up, so Thai is out. How's about oatmeal instead?

How about a picture OF Maine? Actually the National Sportsman's Show 1897 at MSG.
btw - it's pronounced "oh-ka-sock"

Watch out! It'll try to stare you down...

Pic

Winchester test gun

219-357

A lot of variation in those bayonets, which seems odd to me. Wonder who made them for Savage?

Blood groove...

Is it that some have a longer blood groove or is it that the top of the blade is edged farther back? Top two vs bottom two.

All great photos!

Nice going Fug. Nice pics you posted.

The blood grove is the same the ridge above the grove is cut back 1.5" more on the top 2 witch

allowed for a faster blood flow also the handle on the top one is metal not wood I have seen one

in a rubber type also

The 303 is a Savage test gun for Winchester ammo the chamber was measured for exact

shell size

Here's another thread that had me in amazement last winter. I don't know how many times I viewed all the pictures. Going through them again and reading the posts was pure pleasure. Reposting as I did the other thread of pictures so any new members can enjoy. Just can't believe.....what wonderful toys!

2020 has been a suckful year. Thanks for bringing this back around. My opinion is 2021 won't be a sh it load better.
