Designed for utility and target practice, the rifle features a 24-inch round barrel and a smooth one-piece wood stock with a contoured pistol grip and a black plastic buttplate. The barrel is fitted with a ramped front blade sight and a dovetail-mounted adjustable rear notch sight. Verbatim barrel markings include “SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A. .22 SHORT, LONG OR LONG RIFLE” followed by the model designation “MODEL 3D”. The metal surfaces display a blued finish on the barrel and receiver, while the trigger guard is constructed of black-painted metal. As a single-shot model, it does not utilize a magazine. Mechanical function has not been independently verified, and we have not function-tested this firearm. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The metal finish shows significant thinning throughout, transitioning to a brown patina with scattered surface oxidation and light freckling, particularly on the receiver and barrel. The polished steel bolt and handle display visible rust spotting and minor oxidation. The wood stock remains structurally sound but shows numerous nicks, scratches, and impressions from handling, with a notable area of finish loss on the right side of the buttstock. The bore condition has not been inspected. The black finish on the trigger guard shows wear at the edges.
