The list was so helpful on my "Premier" question. I have going to ask a few more about a Savage Sporter (23A) I am trying to restore. The rifle is pictured below and it turns out it is a "parts" gun with the stock being a different serial number than the receiver. If anyone knows "Kenneth Williams", I have his old stock (name electro-penciled on backside of buttplate). Questions:
1. What should the buttplate look like? This one appears to be painted black. It has the SVG in a circle mark.
2. I have had to make (from an old hacksaw blade and tal35's wonderful pictures) a front clip spring, which works OK. Anyone with an extra I would like to see if I could buy it or trade for Model 1914 parts.
3. The only replacement magazine I have found in stock is at Bob's Gun parts for $35. Any other sources? I have a Savage 1919 and that magazine works but finding an original looks like a long and expensive proposition.
4. I am trying the Weave side mount and rings for a scope. Any issues in sighting in?
Thanks again.
