Savage 219
03/07/10 04:43 PM

Looking for more information about the Savage 219 break action hammerless single shot rifle.

Though not common in Australia, I have seen a couple recently in .25-20.

While obviously a budget firearm, they seem quite well made and solid in construction.
Trim appearance along the lines of an old British rook rifle

From what I've been able to piece together, they were built on the Savage single shot shotgun action, and were in two(?) shotgun sizes 20g and 12g as well as .22 Hornet, .25-20, .32-20 and .30-30.

Early 219's had a direct striker type integral firing pin, later ones had an internal swinging hammer and rebounding firing pin (like a H&R 1915).

I reckon one of these could be done up quite well... replace the dodgy strap style trigger guard with a NECG shotgun style trigger guard and spend some time smoothing and lapping various action parts incl the trigger. Maybe a timber upgrade...

Obviously the Savage 219 is much more common in the USA... are they worth spending time and effort on
