It looks like a Browning Auto 5, It was made by savage in the late 40's aluminum alloy frame, great shotgun I grew up shooting one, just as good as an Auto 5 and half the price or less. Although I own several belgen auto 5's I still shoot my 745C a lot
I would like to know what a Savage Arms Westfield Mass. U.S.A Springfield Model 18 Series F A939683 is worth? It is bolt action and has a clip in great shape. Thanks Kim Brady
Contrary to what some believe, Springfield Arms was never a subsidary company of Cresent Arms. Springfeild Arms, like Cresent Arms, were both bought out by Stevens/Savage. Unlike the Cresent, Springfield manufacturing continued after the buy out. Some clarification: Springfield Arms Co was absorbed by Stevens very early, before 1900. Stevens continued to use the Springfield name on certain models of shotgun. Savage absorbed Stevens around 1930 or so, and continued to use the Springfield name on into the 1980's, generally on guns sold to mass-marketers. Crescent Firearms was originally an independent manufacturer that was bought by the major wholesale HD Folsom, which also eventually was absorbed by Savage.
If your model 400 is a semi auto shotgun, with a squarish back to the receiver (something like the Browning Auto-5) these were made for Western Auto by Savage/Stevens/Springfield, and should cross reference to the Mdl 745. The e-commerce side of gunpartscorp.com has a schematic for the Savage 745/ 745C, see if that looks like yours. They DO have some parts available if needed.
It is a Savage, like Remington in the early 1900's used Brownings square back design. It was manufactured by Savage.
1928 to 1933 I have a Springfield arms model 50 Jr. and it needs a new bolt. Where could I find one? I also would like to know when this gun was made.
I think the Savage 755 looks a lot like a Browning A5
not sure but it is listed in savage's 1955 catalog. as i have one and would like to know also.
I have a rifle, passed down from Dad, that has the same exact numbers. I figure because it is before the serial #, it must be all part of the patents. However, mine is stamped with the Springfield Savage Arms Corp. info on the barrel. I would love to know the date of the gun. All i know is, he gave it to me back in the late '80s and it shoots like a dream,, dead on. The only downfall of this .22 is that it weighs more than a Mack truck!
Savage made about five models on that design, with a few marketed under the Springfield name to the chain stores. Value would be around $250.
Anschultz wasn't able to import their rifles so savage arms did it for them and stamped their name on it. Like wen a classy lady marrys a dousche and does th - with their 2 names
The Springfield Jr. 22 LR was made by Page-Lewis Arms Co. from 1928 until 1933. Springfield Arms Co. never made a rifle with this name. I must be missing something - my Sprinflield Jr does not have Page-Lewis on it. The barrel is stamped with both Sprinfield Jr (at the breech), and Springfield Arms Company 22LR Model 50 on the barrel itself. There is the Springfield US Armory and Springfield Inc., but neither had anything to do with this gun and there was never a manufacturer named Springfield Arms Company. The name was first used, I think, by Page Lewis and in a confusing mess of purchases of one company by another, it was used by Crescent Firearms, Crescent-Davis, and eventually by the Stevens division of Savage Arms. Stevens guns often seem to have a name marked on the gun and a model number in the reference books, but this time we're lucky and have both on the gun. The Stevens model 50 is a bolt action single shot, so could remotely resemble the US 1903 Springfield military rifle and it wouldn't surprise me if they sold it as a Springfield Jr. I can't find any dates of production, but Stevens stopped using the Springfield Arms name on shotguns in 1948. The only reference I have with values for the Model 50 is several years old, but the top price listed is $150. I'll bet it hasn't gone up too much and an "average" price would be less than $100. This is not really an answer. My husband has a Page Lewis Model 50 Springfield Jr. that needs a part for it, the ejector. Someone lost the one on his rifle. Could you tell us where we might find a part for this? Or find a schematic for it? Thanks a lot. Hope to hear from you. Answer: I have a .22 L.R. Bolt action rifle exactly like the one you are talking about. On the barrel it say's "Page-Lewis Arms Company Chicopee Falls. Mass. U.S.A. 22 L.R. Model 50" and back near the bolt it says "Springfield Jr" ANSWER; I also have a rifle that has Springfield Arms Company Chicopee Falls, Mass. U.S.A. 22 L.R. Model 50 on the barrel and SPRINGFIELD JR. opposite of bolt . I would like to know more history behind this rifle than that which has already been provided. Maybe you could give a site where I might find additional information. ( My gun has been handed down for generations. It's the family Hog killing gun.) Please reply. CHRIS
I also own springfield however it is a 5100. Now does savage, Stevens, or springfield make this sxs it is a little confusing, because there seems to be a few mft dates 1915 and post ww11 1950? helpAnswerThere are several different models of Springfield doubles, but they are all pretty much the same guns. Any utility double barrel in working condition is worth $150-$250. Less if it is a basket case and more if it is truly like new or 20 gauge or smaller. There is currently a Springfield Inc. and of course there was the US Springfield Armory, but neither of these had anything to do with Springfield shotguns. It was a trade name used first by Crescent probably as early as 1910. Stevens was bought by Savage in the 1920's and continued to make the Stevens tradenames as a semi-independent subsidiary. In the early 30's the Stevens division of Savage bought Crescent and several other small manufacturers and began making most of the Crescent trade names, too. The Springfield name was discontinued in 1948.
