I picked up an "old" (to me anyway) Savage 110 in .270 for $100. It needs some work and I have several questions. A few pics are attached for reference. I've never owned a Savage, nor do I know much about them. Any Advice is appreciated!
1. Is there an easy way to get the age of the rifle? The Serial# on the action is 8691, Serial# on the bolt is 15645.
2. I need a stock and I noticed the barrel is "swollen" around where the flip-up rear sight attaches. Most of the stocks I've found online don't appear to have the the barrel channel inlet for the swollen area. If a stock is labeled as an "early model" should it fit this rifle?
3. It is missing the magazine spring and follower. I've found a replacement, but I've discovered that some of these rifles are "staggered feed" while others are "center feed". Is there an easy way to tell which one I have? I'm assuming it's a staggered feed, which I imagine is more common.
4. There are two screws on the bottom of the safety mechanism that appear to be adjustable and one on the front of the trigger. Any suggestions on what these do?
Thanks in advance for the help, as I know very little about this one.
