Throughout the series of rifles, the National Rifle Association of America was involved in the design and promotion of these "Match" target/training rifles, and thus afforded their approval of suitability for such use. This quirk of nomenclature was fairly quickly rationalised, with the rifle receiving the better-known title of "NRA Model 1933". The very earliest of the 1933 design rifles were strangely and confusingly still known as NRA Model '19s, but of 1933 design, i.e., either referred to as the New Savage Model 1919 NRA, or the Model 19-33. The Model '33 rifle was the replacement for the long serving Model '19 rifle, either rifle being seldom found in the U.K. These were made until 1933 with serial numbers believed to be between 25,000 and 45,000,Īnd with the serial numbers commencing at 45,000 for the Model 19-33. The rifle marked only "Savage NRA Match Rifle" was brought out about 1923 with the same action as the Model 23-A sporting rifle.

In 1933 a better proportioned half stock was adopted, along with other upgrades, including the speed lock feature.

Up until 1933 these rifles were characterized by a full length military style stock and looked much the same externally (slight variations to the ejection port). These had a single point striker with twin extractors. The later models had barrel studs attaching the mag retaining parts, with the takedown screws attaching to the studs. These also had a double point striker in the bolt. The earlier guns had a smaller trigger pin, and the takedown bolts were longer, attaching directly to the receiver barrel assembly and sandwiching the magazine retaining parts between the stock and barrel/receiver. I found this from copied pages from the Savage 1951 component parts listing (NUMRICH Parts). To differentiate, the models with serial numbers 25,000 to 45,000 were listed as the Model 19 NRA Match Rifle. The earlier guns (serial numbers below 25,000) were listed as the Savage Model 19 O.S. I am still trying to find out what magazine was sent with the guns in 22 SHORT - I have never seen a magazine for one just marked for 22 SHORT.įrom older Savage parts schemtics I found that the Model 19 NRA had 3 major variations, at least in the Savage parts listings. These 1923 versions were also offered in 22 SHORT, not just the early ones. The 1919 NRA was updated in 1923 with the 'new 23A' bolt. It is there on the back edge of the receiver ring. Many people think early 1919s, 22s and 23s have no serial #. These are general rules, as many sub-variants have been encountered, probably due to using left over parts as we also encounter in 99s.
