Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced following World War I as an affordable military-style training and target platform, the Savage Model 1919 N.R.A. Match Rifle was designed in close collaboration w/ the National Rifle Association. Manufactured at Savage's historic facility in Utica, New York, the Model 1919 was engineered to mimic the heft, sighting, and ergonomics of the U.S. Military Model 1903 Springfield rifle. Built around a heavy 25.25-inch match-grade barrel, a full-length walnut musket-style stock w/ finger grooves, a full barrel band, and an adjustable rear aperture target sight, the N.R.A. Match Rifle allowed civilian target shooters and military cadets to practice long-range smallbore marksmanship at a fraction of full-power cartridge costs. Featuring a uniquely designed cock-on-opening bolt w/ rapid ignition lock time and a detachable 5-round box magazine, the Savage 1919 N.R.A. remains a revered icon of early 20th-century American target competition history.
This specific example is an authentic Savage Model 1919 N.R.A. Match Rifle manufactured without a serial number (NSN), as was standard for commercial production prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features a 25.25-inch match-grade barrel, factory aperture peep target sights, full barrel band, and its original military-style walnut stock w/ finger grooves. The blued finish exhibits handsome vintage preservation w/ smooth receiver coverage, crisp barrel markings, and mild operational patina consistent w/ careful historical use. Mechanically, the bolt cycles smoothly, safety mechanisms function properly, and the 25.25-inch match bore remains bright w/ defined rifling throughout. Offered complete w/ one (1) factory detachable box magazine, this classic Savage 1919 N.R.A. Match Rifle represents a fantastic acquisition for American rimfire collectors and vintage marksmanship enthusiasts.
