Savage 219?

[Hardcast416taylor]

Are you tilting the breech, ejecting the brass in the air, and catching them in your hand as they come back down?

The previous owner of the 219 I now have can tell you WHY you shouldn`t have the breech pointed at forehead level when breaking the action open. That `little` .30-30 case about dropped him to the floor!Robert

Mine will darn near put an empty Hornet case in orbit. Even a loaded round goes a long way if I don't catch it.

My 219 was refinished so many times the wood was 1/8 inch of the metal in some places.

I found Boyd's Gunstocks had replacements for the 219. Actually that stock will fit the 219,220, 94, and the model 24 O/U.

They are fisished and ready to bolt on.

"Do not dry fire a 219.
It will break the firing pin.
Good luck"

Don't pull the trigger with it open ether, it will break the pin when you close it also.

I have broke two pins in mine. my wife bought mine for me for $60.00 at a flea market in th mid 80's . I broke the pin dry firing it, note it took a few times but it did break. At the time I knew a guy going to gun smith school who fixed for me for the cost of the pin. years later with out thinking I pulled the triger with it open and broke it again.Now it just sits in the safe. I would like to get it fixed but just never get to it.
