1928 Savage Finned barrel.......WTB

[MrBill]

I am looking for a Savage Barrel for my 1928 Thompson Savage . Preferably with good bore and finish. Thanks

[TD.]

I suggest reaching out to forum member reconbob at Philadelphia Ordnance. I believe he has some brand new USGI finned barrels.

[MrBill]

I have a nice barrel on gun. I want to put a original barrel so it is 100% Savage 

[gijive]

Might be an original barrel if it a square S marked Stevens barrel.  Depends on when it was made.

[MrBill]

No square S and no index mark on barrel

[gijive]

Is it a very early Savage made gun?  Maybe TD should chime in in this he is the expert on the Savage guns.  Sounds like you maybe have a replacement barrel on your gun.  In that case I agree, an S marked barrel would be the thing to do.

Mr. Bill,

The reason I referred you to reconbob was because he may have had the barrel you are looking for recently on gunbroker:

I cannot tell if the above barrel that was sold has an index mark, something you could ask reconbob - if he has other "S" marked barrels. One issue with changing barrels is trying to find one where the wear on the barrel matches the wear on the receiver and frame. A new barrel on an 85% or worse gun really sticks out. Same with an 85% or worse compensator. One nice thing about reconbob is you can have him install the barrel too.

It is very common for the barrels on early Savage Thompson guns not to have index lines on the barrel collar but there is no definite cut off point. Is your Savage Thompson under the 20,000 serial number range. If so, is it US and A1 marked or British marked or...?  

[MrBill]

It is marked US/A1 and the serial number is S3737xx. The barrel Bob had for sale on Gun Broker sold but that is what i am looking for. I will contact him, he may have access to another
