80% receiver/action
pivotaction:
Hello. Does anyone know where I may find an unfinished pivot action such as the 219 Savage/1871 H&R? I am asking if anyone here can make these or do any of you know anyone that can make them for anybody interested?
Garnett:
I have never seen or heard of an 80% receiver for this model Savage single shot. I have seen several stripped actions for sale. Also, somewhere in this forum one person is planning on building a new action that will accept a double set trigger. You might try contacting him or check Gunboards for a stripped action. Would you share with us what you are planning on doing with it? Good luck on your hunt. Garnett
Mike Armstrong:
Also not sure what you mean by "80% finished." If you mean unblued or unengraved, you should be able to find something. If you mean missing some of the necessary machining to make it function, well that would be a rare bird probably found only in a gun manufacturers scrap dumpster!
It isn't hard to find a Thompson Center "Contender" single shot action alone, although they would normally be "100% finished" and are more like the H&R mechanically (has a hammer) than the 219.
A TCR '83 or '87 action is a little more like a 219 mechanically (hammerless) but would be much harder to find than a Contender. And you normally don't find them as actions alone. The TCR also came with 12 guage shotgun barrels somewhat like the 219 "combinations;" the Contender only came with smallbore shotgun barrels (.410 and 28 guage) because the frame is too narrow for larger shotgun barrels.

What I mean is there are 80% lowers being manufactured by the AR aftermarket. Do any of you know if there is a company that will manufacture an 80% single shot break action receiver?
Garnett:
I do not know of any company making an 80% receiver. Savage sold the manufacturing rights to the M219/220 single shots years ago and no one has started to remake them.
