Manufacture date for a Savage 340C
« on: September 20, 2009, 11:40:56 AM »
Trying to date my Grandpa's rifle. Its a 340C, .30-30, 22 inch barrel with an uncheckered walnut stock, drilled and tapped by the factory for both scope and aperture sight.She has a mushroom cocking piece and on the barrel, just ahead of the nut, is the SP in an oval and the number 200 in a circle.
   I understand that after 1965 they started checkering the stocks.Oh , the magazine release is the flat type not the one that has the tab running parallel to the barrel. Any help appreciated.  Thanks!
