Fug is probably the resident expert, or one of them. I think quite a few folks have 1 or a few.

Which ones you parting with ? Those Yours ? ,,,New old stock ready for stocking ?,,,,,,,Nice ..... Fug doesnt hang much anymore does he ?
Posted By: Calhoun Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/19/20
Those are Fug's. He's around quite a bit, just doesn't post much.

Not many folks post about them, or ask questions. If you have any, post pics and ask questions. It's the best way to generate interest.

When ever someone mentions a 219, I have to post this one. If anyone ever sees it up for sale, anything in my collection is up for grabs.

I've got one that fits five different barrels.

12-16-20-410 & 30-30. One forearm fits all but the 12. A separate one for that. Fun set up
Posted By: kdog Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
I need a 410 and a 22 hornet .........
Posted By: gnoahhh Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
I have a .25-20 which someone rebored/chambered from a .22 Hornet. A fun shootin' l'il rascal if ever there was one.

Yep, damn near a full set, 410, 28, 20, 16 ga, 30-30, 22 Hornet and 25-20.


Missing a 12 ga which shouldn't be hard and a 32-20.

Thats not right ............
Posted By: Mesa Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
I still have a First Model Utica 219 Hornet with factory scope D&T that I "fitted" a 220 .410 barrel (full disclosure--the .410 barrel dropped right on to the rifle action). Found the 219 in Maine about 1978 and somebody had taken very good care of it. NOT for sale, although I've had, and sold, a bunch of these neat little guys
Posted By: kdog Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
Just not right ...............

Thats like hoarding in these trying times
Posted By: gnoahhh Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
These rifles are way nicer than the recent crop of hardware store quality break-open single shots. Not up to European quality in that regard though. Handle a German kiplauf and compare to a 219.

That said, I've always had a soft spot for 219's. They ought to bring it back, chambered for stuff like .223, .357 Max, .22HP(😁), and .17HMR. I'd buy one, and the rest of the barrels to go with it. Hold the shotgun barrels please.
Posted By: kdog Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
I was thinking the same when i saw they came in 22 hornet ,,,,,22 HP would be sweet in one of these ....But ya gotta have a 410 in one ,...........Have you been to many auctions lately ? a double 410 ,sxs or o/u ....rem 11-48 are bringing good money
Think he takes those down couple times a year and makes sure they aint rustin' Oils them down ...That photo is killing me ....EG and the 219s 220s and the others ...................Looks like my dads hardware store back in the storage room .....
Posted By: Loggah Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
I do have a bunch of shotgun barrels and forearms that interchange with the rifle barrels ,410,20,16, and 12.
Posted By: 44mc Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/20/20
I never know that they were made. thanks for the info fellers
Posted By: FUG1899 Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20

Their are several different styles of the 219 and more different 220's

acid engraved,deluxe model,beaver tail forarm,cheek piece,

polychoke,and some 220's with 30" barell
Posted By: kdog Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
Found this one ,,,,,,Most are basic shooters ,which is all im looking for ...Some had Tenite stocks........I think Savage is missing out on this niche ,,,Be sweet if they would bring them back

Attached picture 219.JPG
Posted By: gnoahhh Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
I never saw a 219 rifle with a Tenite stock. Were they made like that? Plenty of Tenite stocked shotguns and .22's have danced in and out of my consciousness, but never a Tenite 219.

Thank heavens they never put Tenite on a 99, or did they?
Posted By: mad_dog Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
Seens Stevens 94's with tenite stocks but never a 219.
Posted By: kdog Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
Yes ..my mistake ....mod 94s had the tenite .....pre 219 /220
Posted By: gnoahhh Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
Owned three Tenite guns, own one now. .410 O/U built on Model 24 frame (I forget the model #), that weird two shot manually operated shotgun that looked like an autoloader (again, can't remember model #), and a Stevens 87 that Gramps provided me which is the one I still have.
Posted By: Calhoun Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
Picked up a tenite 94 this winter, got a 220 somewhere in a safe as well. Part of Savage history..
Posted By: GeneB Re: Savage 219/220 - 03/21/20
I bought an early 220 in 22 SHOT, it had about 3" of the stock cut off, but I knew it was a rare gun and figured I could buy another gun for the stock and still be OK. I have found it not to be that easy! This early 220 has a blued receiver (with assembly numbers matching the barrel), a bent sheetmetal trigger guard and does not set the safety when the action is opened (the internal parts are not cut to take the part that does this so it's not broken or missing a part). I found later stocks will fit well enough to function but not well enough to look right. They are proud of the top of the action and top tang and well short on the bottom. I've tried stocks from two different later guns and both have the same fit problems - these both came off of guns with cast soft metal trigger guards. I saw a parted out 220 on GunBroker that had a sheetmetal trigger guard, but in the parts group was the automatic safety bar so I was afraid I be buying another stock that didn't fit any better than the previous two. I debated buying an after market blank but am afraid there might not be enough wood left on the bottom to make it fit correctly.
