anyone out there happen to have a 22 hornet barrel for the savage 219

 

[chickenlittle]

My father would like one. I've been casually looking for one on gunbroker.com. One sold on there in October for $220

They are probably pretty scarce? Haven't seen a M219 for sale in any form, in years. Probably the original "combo gun" single shot, long before H&R/NEF or Rossi got the idea?

A kid I went to school with in the 60s had one. 30-30 and 12ga barrels, IIRC? One of my Tioga kin has one in 22 Hornet and I've been trying to steal it for over 25 years, with no success.

thanks for the reply, i also have been watching gunbroker.com. these things are like hens teeth to find, if just looking for a barrel

i have a 219, in a 30-30, but sure would like to have a hornet barrel. also seen a post here ,where some one was looking for a 22 hornet single shoot. h&r made a model 158 topper years back with interchangable barrels

NEF also made a combo gun in 20ga and 22 Hornet. I've had one for over 20 years. Even came with a black padded nylon "bag", that holds both barrels and the receiver in separate pouches, plus another pouch for a scope.

Savage 219 barrels are generally NOT interchangeable. They should be fitted by a gunsmith. Headspace is not eaasily adjusted, the under lug would need either ground or welded and refit. I know some folks swap them, but that can be dangerous.

The Savage 219 is leagues away and better quality than any of the H&R/NEF stuff.

 

[DennyF]

No question about that and the Hornet my cousin has, is also very accurate.

the gun shop i deal withs owner is an excellant gunsmith. full machine shop in the rear. they can build a gun from scratch if you want it. i definatly will have it checked out, if i can ever come up with one. thanks for the heads up

 

[Harrysigafoo]

Let us know. I could use one.

hey big bucks the mod 219 is a top notch shooterr nice and lite deadly acurate for a off the shelf gun from back in the day, I bought my first one in 75 for 35 hard earned bucks the second my son wanted paid 275 at public sale in perry co 2 yrs ago they hade a boat load of single shots there. watch the sale bills thats my advice. you still have a few months till most seasons come in. good luck

I recently picked up a 25-20 in very nice shape. It is going to make a great plinker.

 

[DennyF]

Great score!

 

[foxhunter50]

Nice shape by the looks. good buy

 

[ROMAC]

I've been told that it is the hardest to find caliber in any condition.

Just out of curiousity, what is a 219 in a 22 hornet worth? It has about 75% of the case coloring, about 95% of the bluing, the stock has a small crack and chip. It also has a crap centerpoint scope on it. Appreciate any help

Thats a nice looking 219 Romac great buy!!!!

There is one in the classifieds in the April Maine Sportsman, here's what the ad says:

Savage Model 219
30-30 Win, w/ additional 16 gauge barrel.
Manufactured in Utica, NY.
Excellent Condition for age.

I don't know anything about the gun or seller, just thought I would share since you guys seemed interested in the model 219.

the other day i was helping to clean out an old barn/chicken house i came across a lone rusted single shot rifle barrel after a little checking i found the modle number on it it said savage 219 it looks like a .30 cal bore the lug & inside of the bore & chamber are pretty rusted. after all of that what do you guys think would it be worth takeing it to a gunsmith & having it cleaned up & finding a frame for it?
