Old rifle info

[Tinysd]

My buddy came over with some old guns he found in his parents closet. They belonged to his grandfather and have not been out of that closet for decades.

There was a nine shot H&R .22 revolver with a ten inch barrel. A Winchester Model 1912- 12 gauge. A Savage Model 3D .22 single shot. A lever action Savage Model 300 and an unknown .32 short rifle.

I was hoping some of you would have some info on the Savage lever action and the .32 short. I have a bunch of pics that might help you help me.

All three


.22 after I cleaned it up

The Savage lever action



















I have done a few Google searches, but it is tough to know if the rifle they are talking about is the one I have.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!!

The .32 short rifle is leaving me scratching my head.

The .32 short looks like a Belgian Flobert parlor rifle from the late 1800s.
More than likely an 8mm rimfire as opposed to .32 short.

The Savage looks like a model 99EG in .300 Savage caliber. Value probably between $300-$500, depending on the bore.

The bag the rifles was in had three boxes of .32 short, so I assumed that was the caliber.

Thanks for the info.

You sent me in the right direction.

I saw a couple of these when I was young as I lived in Europe for 7 years as a kid.
I didn't know they were made in .32 short! Probably made for import into the US.

That auction link says 32 rimfire. Good luck finding ammo.

I bet that is a fun gun to shoot.

That Savage is an excellent score. Finally some good comes from family hoarding .

Note that the Savage is a takedown model. The forearm is removed with the little escutcheon on the belly and then the barrel is unthreaded for easy packing in a case.

Sweet!!

I just took it apart. That is too cool!

And if you tighten the cleaned and lubed thread up nice and SNUG after cleaning it is fully safe to shoot modern .300 Savage which is like a mellow .308 and a VERY nice deer caliber.

300 Savage is a classic Had an Uncle that had one with 2 barrels takedowns,one barrel was a 410 shotgun the other cal. I dont remember it was either a 308 or the 300 savage,,My Cousin has it now

The other BBL was 250 Savage.

They came in a fitted Leather and Wood case.

Very Classy Stuff.

Sweet Savage! My Grandfather left me his that he got from his Dad. It's a Model 1899 takedown / .250-3000 Savage. It was made in the 1910's from what I know. I am not sure what it is worth. I love it. It still runs fine.
