WWII Savage 720

**highpower3006** · 07-05-2014 10:25 AM

I thought I'd share this WWII Savage 720 that I picked up for VERY cheap a while ago. Not a riot or trench gun, but US military issue nonetheless. it has a full length cylinder bored barrel.

I surmise that is was used either for aerial gunnery training or perhaps for clay pigeon shooting by officers. It is in pretty good shape for it's age with some freckling on the bluing on the receiver and barrel. I know it's not worth a ton of money, but I find it to be interesting.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Looks great, martial marked guns are getting scarce in any condition and that one's excellent.

Highpower3006, thanks for posting photos of your 720. The 4 asterisks on these Savage guns denotes an improved cylinder bore. The cylinder bore riot guns were marked with 3 asterisks.
