Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Some Belated Pictures for 99Trix

Hey all,
I haven't spent much time around here in a while, but some time back I bought some much needed parts for a 22HP of mine from 99Trix. I promised him pictures of the ol' girl when I got done, and while I might not be the most punctual dude of all time, I am a man of my word. Life has been happening, and when it rains it pours. From top to bottom:

.22HP MFD: 1915
.303 MFD: 1910
.303 MFD: 1902







I do have one question, however. The middle one (1910) has a rather short heavy barrel. What designation would this be? The long one is an "A", correct?

Thanks all....

Short rifle!

If it's original and not cut down. I don't see the remains of a saddle ring post.

or a carbine butt...

its an 1899A Short rifle, came in a solid frame and a take-down... or its an 1899A that has been cut.

It's not been cut. Thanks guys.

Nice rifles, SR's are hard to find. What's the front sight on the 1902 1899A?

Thanks for the pictures! Some of the love for these old rifles it get them whole again and back in serviceable condition. Glad that I could help!

I agree, nice rifles, good to see'em seviceable again

What are the rear sights...other than the obivious tang? Front on the "short rifle" looks familiarly high And could assume the rear does too, from what I see in your photo. Not a buckhorn by any chance??

Left to right: 22HP, Short Rifle, Long Rifle


22HP Front & Rear:





Short Rifle Front & Rear:





Long Rifle Front & Rear (original Buckhorn in safe-have a dovetail filler in the rear):

These all look extremely dirty with the close up Glamour Shots, but I assure you, I do clean these rifles. Any specifics like sight model names you'd like to tell me would be great. Oh, none of these ol' girls have been drilled for scopes or slings-they are 100% unmolested.

Nice Group of Rifles There, And Congrats on Bringing back that 22H.P. back to life.

Take em to the woods .Great looking hunting rifles . Tom

I like 'em all Thank you for the pics!!! I am especially intrigued with the one front that is all steel. Don't know if I wanna do THAT much filing I'm with Sooner on this one...take 'em hunting!!!

before you take the long rifle to the bush i would fix those tang cracks,,,,dont want them to get any bigger,

FYI...
Rear sight on the SR appears to be a Winchester. Original in 1910 would be the Rocky Mt., like on the 1899-A, or the 1911. You might be able to tell which by where the original wear mark from the elevator is. The 1911 is a shorter sight than the Rocky Mt.

Filing? Not sure I follow....thanks for the compliments, though.

The long rifle has some head space issues. So, I won't be shooting it until I get that and the tang cracks fixed.

Okay, so I dug the Long Rifle's (1902) rear sight out of the safe and snapped a couple pictures:







Then, I took the elevator out of the Short Rifle (1910). Notice it's the exact same elevator-I'm sure they used this for a couple of different sights. Is it possible that the main part of the sight is from a Winchester?-Sure, but read Rick99's signature....





Oh, and a quick note: The 1910 is going with me for a cow elk hunt here in Arizona this December-these beauties are made to be used.

The elevators sure look Winchester. Some of them were the same thickness as Savage used. How thick are they?
