You can't always be SURE as to the date of manufacture with Model 99s, even with a serial number. A more sure way is by what is called the 'Lever Boss Code'.

As an example, if the serial number is used to judge the date of manufacturer, then the examples (below) indicate that your rifle was made in 1968 as Joe (Mad Dog) said. However, to be more sure of that date, check out your Lever Boss Code ('LBC') which is a number (the inspector's number) followed by a letter indicating the year of manufacture. Note that your rifle's serial number falls near the end of 1968 in my records (below). Note the LBC. '19' is the inspector's number and 'V' stands for the year 1968.

I have a Savage Model 110, 7mm Rem Mag with the serial number. I'm trying to get all my guns info on record and was wondering if anyone could tell me the year of manufacture for this rifle? Ive had this rifle for several years now and have looked relentlessly it seems.

U= 1967: 1134xxx, 1136xxx, 11391xx V= 1968: 1165XXX(16V), 1171xxx, 1172283(19V), 1184xxx (19V) W= 1969: A009045 (Jan), A226071 (June), A279775, A296xxx, The most accurate method of determining the year of manufacture of Model 99 rifles made from 1949 to 1971 is by using what is called the 'Lever Boss Code'. Hindi serial mata ki chowki title song download. Even more accurate than the rifle's serial number.

Savage began stamping an inspector's number and a letter in a poorly (and very faintly) stamped oval on the lever boss (the extension on the lower, front side of the receiver in which the lever rotates) in 1949. This is what is called the “Lever Boss Code”. Savage continued to use Lever Boss Code numbers & letters until 1971. The letters 'O' and 'Q' were skipped and not used in the Code series due to their similarity. The number was the inspector's number plus the letter indicating the year of manufacture. ('A' was used in 1949, 'B' in 1950, 'C' in 1951 and so forth). And so, if a rifle were made in 1968 & inspected by Inspector #12, it would have a Lever Boss Code that looked like this (inside the oval): 12 V Please look (you may need a magnifying glass) at your rifle and tell us the Lever Boss Code.

Strength & Honor.

Usually, it is behind the hinge pin or ahead of the trigger guard on the bottom of the frame. It will appear as a small circle containing a number and a letter. The letters correspond to the years shown in the following table. Significance of the numbers is not known.' *   *From page 1101 of Ned Schwing's 2004 Standard Catalog of Firearms, 14th Edition, published by Krause Publications of Iola, WI. I would like to add that I have found this circle, or oval, containing one or two numbers plus a single letter, just about anywhere and everywhere on the frame, but only on the outside of the frame, never inside.

I have also found the circle or oval with letters and numbers on the barrel clusters, on the shot barrel or on the barrel assembly lug block. While the letter within the circle always match on factory matching barrel and frame, the numbers never match, or at least that has always been my experience. These Date Codes are also present on the Model 94 frames and barrels, andI am sure on many others.

The marks on the inside of the frame, where the lower barrel seats when closed, are what I would call assembly stampings, and match frame to barrel, found on underside of shot barrel near forend lug, and also sometimes found on the butt stock under the butt plate. ~EE      odell23- ' The following is a brief account (meaning I won't cover every detail before the internet commandos start harassing me for lack of completeness and not covering every little feature) of the groupings of Savage 24's. This is not a concrete order of which grouping came first and does not mean the whole grouping was made before the next grouping was produced and offered for sale, this is just an easier way to see all of the varieties with similar features and minimize confusing the stamped designations.
