Savage Model 19NRA Rear Peep Sight
Hi all -
New to the forum today. I recently recieved a Savage Model 19NRA Serial Number 39,7xx. As you can see from the pictures it's in pretty good shape, not great, but the Rear peep sight is missing. Numrich doesn't have it, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Also if anyone knows any history on the gun please reply. I've had a hard time finding anything on it
I recieved the gun for free. My fiance's dad gave me that and an old Remington 550-1 Semiauto he found in the attic of his wife's parents house. The semiauto is complete, but I am still missing the rear peep sight, and an original mag from the 19NRA. The mag in the picture is a replacement I got from www.gun-parts.com. Does anyone have either of these they would be willing to get rid of. (mag, and sight) Also when the gun is re-completed, what can I expect in value. I've heard between $150-$275. As far as I know all the numbers match. Under the buttplate 21721 is stamped into the stock and buttplate. The blueing is ok. The bore is bright with good rifling, and the action is extremely smooth and clean.
My uncle who deals mainly with pre civil war - WW I era guns couldn't find anything either. He recommended to have a regular leaf step sight fitted to the existing holes for now so as to make the gun operational, but not alter it in any way from all original, so if and when I DO find the correct sight I can just unscrew the leaf, and put the peep right on. Is this a good Idea. The front sight is so high it seem kind of wierd to me because you'd have to adjust it funny, or am I just not getting the picture. But I do know not drilling any new holes in the gun IS a good idea.
On another note. On the barrel, about 5 inches up from the rear sight screw hole. there is a screw flush into the barrel. It looks like it came on the gun originally. Does anyone know what that is
Sorry for the Mammoth first time post, but I have alot of questions.
Thanks
Andrew

WELCOME ANDY, YOU HAVE TO LOOK ONE E-BARF (TRY RIFLE/GUN SIGHTS)OR POST IN THE WANT ADD SECTION HERE FOR THE SIGHT YOU NEED, YOUR 19NRA IS AN EARLY ONE AND PARTS HAVEN'T BEEN AVAILABLE FOR SOME YEARS. THE LATER ONES USED A DIFFERENT MAGAZINE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE THERE SHOULD BE TWO SCREWS IN THE BARREL IN FRONT OF THE BOLT. THESE WHERE FOR SCOPE BLOCKS (UNERTL TYPE). 0 -
Thanks for the information. I posted in both areas. I only saw one screw, but I didn't look very long. From the pictures can you discern what value this gun may have after I get the rear peep sight, and original magazine. I also plan on making a leather sling to go in the swivels
Thanks for the quick answer
