mad dog, do you have the date 9703 was received at Savage's offices?
pete53, Charles Newton was involved with the development of the 22 HP and the 250-3000. The only info we have on the 300 was that unknown Savage engineers developed it. He wasn't involved with any of the others as far as we know.

mad dog, do you have the date 9703 was received at Savage's offices?[quote=JTC]OG, hope this answers it for you all. The last 1895 s/n recorded in regular progression is 8200. Shipped on April 2, 1897. There are 5 odd rifles after this with the last s/n being 9703, oct. bbl., shipped Sept. 3, 1896 JTC Charles Newton was involved with the development of the 22 HP and the 250-3000. The only info we have on the 300 was that unknown Savage engineers developed it. He wasn't involved with any of the others as far as we know. Not accurate on 300 Savage. Charles Newton took credit for it in the late 20's, the LEVERBOLT company I posted the ad from was a Charles Newton company.

I'm thinking Callahan made a typo on my letter for my SRC 4736, not to far off of Bills and accepted Dec 31, 1896 yet shipped Aug 7 1896, do the math??????
And to throw a wrench into the gears that are turning right now, 9703 Oct bbl shipped Sept 3, 1896.
Have fun with that. What year would you like it have been shipped? 4736 1895-F .303 SAV 22" 12/31/1896 8/7/189? 4758 1895-F .303 SAV 12/19/1896 1/26/1898 4775 1895-F .303 SAV 1899 bolt 12/26/1896 6/29/1899

As for serial order of the 1895s... it appears that the 5000 range was the start (around 2/1896), followed by the 6000 to 7900 range (into the third quarter 1896), with late 7000, 3000 & 4000's bring up the rear (to first part of 1897).
Within all the ranges you will find random dates that don't fit the pattern.
The date we use for the 1899 is the date sent to the ware house and the date shipped out of the plant. For the 1895 it is the date of receipt at Savage from Marlin and then the date shipped from Savage. So, the production order at Marlin might have been more in numeric order than the log shows.

If only those production records at Marlin still existed. Maybe laying in a box somewhere at Cody.. one can always hope.
