Hi guys, I'm a new member and need help identifying a rifle.
A friend asked me to restore his fathers 250-3000 savage rifle. I tried to do some research on the pieces and hit a block wall. All I have is a receiver and barrel (takedown),buttstock and pistol grip fore arm. the receiver and barrel were seized and at some time in the past he had someone try to take it apart but was unable to figure it out. The fellow completely stripped the rifle down to the last screws and pins and in the end lost or sold all the parts.
With a heat gun I was able to remove the barrel. The only markings on the receiver are the serial number (649xxx) and a really small K on the lever boss at the top front. The barrel is marked Jul25,1893 sep10,1907 may25,1909 jun1,1909 savage hp steel 250-3000 utica ny . The butt stock an forearm are stamped H.E.W. and checkered.
I think the date of mfg. is 1952. From looking at old catalogs I'm leaning towards either a 99EG or a 99F model.
The receiver has no cutout for a clip, so I assume it's a rotary carrier type. The forearm is a schanable and has a cutout for the take down release latch but no parts.
If anyone out there has any ideas, I could sure use some help and would be grateful.
Thanks for your time ,Steve
