Hi Vagrant I was looking around all the accumulated junk in my basement the other day and came across this rifle that I inherited from my father in law 12yrs ago when he passed away . I don`t really know a lot about guns in general this one is a savage 22/410 that breaks down into 3 pieces what I was wondering is about how old would something like this be and are they pretty common that sort of info thanks in advance ....Gerry

I have no idea, Savage has made that gun for decades

One way to get a [very] rough guesstimate is to look and see if it has a "transfer bar" between the hammer and firing pins

They added that somewhere in the late '60s -'70s . Earlier ones just used "half-cock" for a safety. Most of the older ones I've seen ['50s] had a nylon stock but I don't know if this was on all or just the "econos"
As a wild guess, I'd say, no transfer bar - pre '68

Possibly Contact Savage Arms Co with the Serial No. They may be able to help too. Not trying to undermine your knowledge in the subject Al, just trying to help Mr Gerry.
