For help determining your 1895 or 1899 model, refer to my book or internet forums on the “Contact” page. So determining your 1895 or 1899 “model” means interpreting the ledger data. The 18 model names that we use now (1899A, 1899C, 1899F, etc) are based on the first letter of the telegraph codes used to order that configuration, and were coined by Douglas Murray in his book “The Ninety-Nine” in the 1970’s. That is because Savage Arms never assigned model letters until the 99’s came out in 1921. And the model is never recorded for 1895’s and 1899’s (unless it’s a special named grade 1899 – and even then they might not have written it down). What they won’t do is interpret the ledgers to tell you the model if the model isn’t recorded. and the Cody folks will tell you exactly what’s in it for your rifle.

So check the list of serial number ranges that they can search and letter before sending your money. They received the old Savage ledgers in the fall of 2020 – but they don’t have records for ALL Savage rifles.

Many consider these date codes more accurate than using serial number ranges. A few 1971 rifles have a Y stamp, most rifles in 1971 don’t. In 1949 the letter was A, and it increased each year skipping O and Q.
303 SAVAGE RIFLE CODE
This date code is on 99’s only from 1949 to 1970, and is always preceded by numbers. The numbers indicate the inspector, and the letter indicates the year. On Savage 99’s it is on the front of the lever above the serial number, and is a letter inside an oval stamp preceded by 1 or 2 numbers. They were each only offered for a year.įrom 1949 through 1970, Savage Arms stamped a date code on almost all their firearms. * Commemorative 99s : Dates returned for the 75th Anniversary 1895, the 99CE and 99RMEF are accurate. These dates are likely very accurate, but doesn’t reflect when the rifle was finished or shipped.
303 SAVAGE RIFLE SERIAL NUMBERS
* December, 1968 – 2001+ : The dates that serial numbers were stamped on the receivers during the manufacturing process. Any given rifle might be finished and shipped months or years after the “normal” date though. Savage Arms no longer recorded the accepted from factory dates. * Fall of 1926 – December, 1968 : The dates in this serial range are when the rifles were shipped from the factory. Any given rifle might be finished months or years later than “normal”, though. From there it would have been stored and ready to ship. * 1895 – fall of 1926 : The dates returned above are dates the rifles in that serial number range were accepted from the factory. The ledgers record different things over time, so we use the “best” dates we can for each year. What Is The Date? So, what does the “ Date“ returned above actually mean? Well, that varies by time periods.
