On the FAQ page you'll notice that the Savage date code stamps run from 1949 to 1970 based on Schwing's work. The Gun Control Act of 1968 which took effect in October of that year is when serial numbers became mandatory and Savage started putting them on Model 24 guns.

Is there any information available regarding use of serial numbers to help determine year of manufacture of Savage firearms. In my case I am thinking specifically of the modern Favorite copies.meaning the Model 71, 72, 74, and the 30G models including all three calibers. And, I remember a few years ago seeing sellers at gun shows with little booklets for different gun companies that apparently had information on year of manufacture by the serial number. I have not seen anyone selling those little books.

Were the books of any use? Is that information all on the internet now?

I already asked this on on Rimfire Central and did not find out much. FWIW I recently went to the Savage web site thinking maybe I could contact them about some historical specifics.like the serial number question. The company had thought ahead on this, probably because of having to field all kinds of contacts from us gun enthusiasts of all kinds. Anyway, point is, the mailing address of a Mr. Callahan was given and indicated that he had once worked for Savage and now is voluntarily answering inquiries from Savage products collectors. So, I sat down at the computer (I think in Oct but maybe early Nov) and wrote him a nice letter of inquiry and gave him ways to easily contact me without having to write a paper letter.

Priya tatjyani iz operi evgenij onegin noti. I gave him my email address and phone number. I have, as of this date, not heard from him. This could mean he burned out on the task or it could mean that he is more than a month behind, almost two months, on correspondence.

I do not know. I am sure I have kept the letter in my word file if you want his full name and address I could give it to you if you cannot find it on the Savage site.
