Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Barrel Threads vs Pre/Post vs Factory location

And now the gun Jacks Pa just posted!!

Just to throw some numbers out from a quick eyeballing with a tape measure...

1895 barrel has 12 square threads per inch.
1899H takedown barrel has 12 square threads per inch.
Westfield 99F barrel has 14 V threads per inch.
Savage 11 barrel has 20 square threads per inch.


I know nobody cares about the last one, but it was laying there so I measured.

Savage 110 series rifles don't have square threads, but they are 20 TPI.

Hmm.. looked flattened to me when I looked straight down at them, but they are a dull V shape. Thanks for correction.

Well Jeff, Rory has me wondering. When I pulled the scope of my 1960 F the top appeared flat but I didn't notice if the groove of the threads were tapered or "V" shaped.

Back in 2008 I posted here of a 99 243 that I picked up. S/N 967,8XX that lettered being shipped late December 1959. This post brought me back to that discussion as this rifle has a Westfield barrel on it. I finally got home, pulled the scope and the front screw and lo and behold, square threads. At least that answered the question from before. But, looking at Murrays, the barrel address is style shown for the new 99A. Keep in mind that nowhere on the barrel does it indicate that this an F but it has the F forearm, the barrel boss for the rear sight and 22" barrel. An F in every respect other than the Westfield barrel marking. I gotta believe that it must have been a factory rebarrel job. Now to put the mongrel back to bed!
