Hello Everyone
« on: January 10, 2025, 03:32:33 PM »
Hey! I’m Brad. New to these pages haha. Thought I’d drop a few pictures of what brought me around! I recently acquired my Grandad’s Savage Model 220 20 Gauge from my mom. He bought it brand new in 1958 or 59 after returning from Navy service. (Not sure the exact year at the moment, would have to do some digging for his discharge papers to be 100% sure of year). I remember watching him shoot dove with this shotgun when I was barely old enough to hold a shotgun myself haha. My ultimate goal is to get it shootable again with its original parts for one hunt a year, but there is damage inside the forearm that may prevent “original” parts being used. Anyway, here are some pictures for you fellow gun enthusiasts to enjoy!

Brad, thanks for sharing with us!  I suggest trying to find a 20 gauge forearm complete with the same attaching metal as in yours.  If that doesn’t work, then search for the two items separately.  Good luck on your restoration.
