Springfield Arms Co was a trade name used by Savage/Stevens in the 1930's and 40's. I can't find a date for the production of a model 53 or 53A. Actually, it is not listed in any of my newer books, but a 21-year old Official Price Guide lists it as a bolt-action single shot. If this is it, it should be a good shooter and a great heirloom, but a poor investment. Even in excellent condition, it would probably bring only $100-$125 retail. Well - maybe it was a good investment. That old price guide shows it at only $45.

The person could be arrested and charged with violating Connecticut General Statutes 53a-180, 53a-180a, 53a-180b, or 53a-180c, depending on the exact circumstances.
Nowhere until you know who made it.

The Electric Company - 1971 53A 5-53 was released on: USA: 31 December 1975
apparently from what i have found this rifle was bought new for like 45 bucks. maybe alittle more. and it was made between 1936 and 1948. it might be worth 100 to 125 dollars. this info is from research i did on the internet from other people askin similar questions and there responses. i think the years it was made might have been from the model 53b. they cant be that far apart from each other. the difference is the 53 a firing pin has to be reset manual. the 53 b resets when the bolt is opened. my 53 a does not have a safety and the 53b does. i dont know if im missing parts or not. i dont think that i am. hope this helps
7a2 + 53a + 28 = 7a2 + 49a + 4a + 28 = 7a(a + 7) +4(a + 7) = (a + 7)(7a + 4)
