Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors The Marlin Savage connection

yeah, Savage was making the Fox model B and the 99EG... what else was Savage making post war? Were they making any of the rimfires?

Yes, the Model 29. But we only know that because it was serial numbered. Most of the rimfires were not so it is hard to tell when they were made. Could have been for the Steven/Springfield rimfire lines, also. I think there was higher production of these than the Savage after the war. Sears, Wards, etc. needed to stock shelves.

Would Marlin have marked them? What was the military stamp that Marlin used during the war? Did marlin make barrels for other contractors during the war? Might be some connection between what they produced during the war and what they could make on the same machines?

I would think that if Marlin made barrels for Savage it would have been a large enough quanitiy of the same thing to be worth their time.

I have some corespondence from Roe with a picture of the rifle and some hand writing from Roe stating this is the same as his rifle. I am on the road right now but will post something when I get home.
