Patent Drawings for M219/220
Garnett:
Chris, Thanks for your input. I will try the PO search again using your suggestion. I have a couple of books by Mr. DeHaas, but don't recall any drawings. I will look again. I have a very early ".22/.410" that is marked "Pat Pend". It is in excellent condition, bought new by the father of a friend of mine. Thanks again!

Garnett,
Yes, those Stevens combo guns are a marvel. Savage re-branded it the Savage 24 in 1950, and I've owned a few. They vary dramatically in terms of how well regulated they are, but if you find one that shoots the rifle and shotgun to the same point of aim they are wonderful guns.
The Savage 99 was another great one, I believe still the only lever gun which could shoot non-rimmed cartridges. What an innovation! They made millions of them, for 100 years, and then abruptly stopped in 1998. Who the heck knows why, because people pay a ton for them on GB.
If they re-issued the Savage 99 TODAY, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, they could sell them for $1200 and they wouldn't be able to make enough.

I had a beautiful Savage 1899 with a tapered Oct. barrel in excellent condition, but sadly....not smart enough to keep it. :-[
