Savage Automatic II

[ravager349]

hey rugersix check out my vid if you have not already done so

[ravager349]

Hey rugersix just bought a savage 1907 a few hours ago at a gun show good shape slightly loose but in good shape. Just wanted to give you some thumbs up on the vid (dissembly-reassembly) and if you know any sources on parts and mags for these little pistols. PLZ let me know. Oh and dont cry cuz i paid $150 for it no tax!!!

[rugersix]

@ravager349 OUCH...you had to sting me with the last bit didn't you! =)

And now you want me to help you! Ha...hand over the Savage! =)

Numrich gets parts from time to time but you have to keep checking. Mags? Good luck! There is a company that makes after-market mags that hold one less round, but don't remember the name!

[rugersix]

@ravager349 THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! =) What a find...how was the condition on the gun?

[reaperflynn3]

It's a cool little backup pistol. Even with all the pistols we have nowa days

[rugersix]

@reaperflynn3 Yes it is...and still a great home defense weapon! =)

Hi, so glad I found your video!

I have a friend who is looking to sell his Savage. All he's told me is that's it's a 32 semi.

I've googled for pricing on a 32 savage semi and found very little.

Any suggestions on how I can calculate the value so that we both get a fair deal?

Again, good thing you made this Vid! Hope I have one soon!

[rugersix]

@327nlake I paid $325 for mine a few years ago! It really depends a lot on the condition but if you go to gunbroker or auction arms on line and search Savage 1907 see what they are selling for now. Prices on everything has gone through the roof!

[327nlake]

@rugersix Cool, I'll check there and see what I learn. Thanks man, I appreciate it very much.

best of luck to you my friend. I'll let you know what I find out and post it here. (hopefully I won't forget)

Thanks again for posting vid. Well done.

[GringoMP40]

Great video indeed, I too have one of these great little pistols. Mine was made in 1917. It shoots fine but has a terrible trigger pull...must be 12 pounds. Is there an easy trigger job fix you know of?

[rugersix]

@GringoMP40 Thanks for watching!

I really don't know of any easy trigger job for these. Being a vitage pistol I would not worry to much about doing a trigger job on it!

[wksmith106]

I need some help with an ejection problem with my 1907. It is an early model, made in 1909. help?

[rugersix]

Are you having issues with the empty casings extracting???

[wksmith106]

Yup. They pull out of the barrell, but do not eject properly.

[rugersix]

The only thing I can think of is....either the extractor is missing or worn out and needs to be replaced? Numrich Gun Parts on line sells parts for these guns and also have an exploded view.

[wksmith106]

I think it is missing. the ejector / extractor. I looked at the drawing on th Numrich site, and I don't see one like they show, not do I really know where it would be installed. They are also out of stock right now. :(

[rugersix]

Keep checking back with them as they do get parts in from time to time. A good qualified gunsmith would be able to install it correctly for you...if you didn't want to tackle the job!

[wksmith106]

I will. only there were someone with a Savage 1907 that was complete that could take a photo of the correct placement of the ejector......

[rugersix]

If that's not a hint.....Well I don't know.....LOL =] Send me an e-mail address via the YT message service and I'll get a few pics out to you as soon as possible.

[wksmith106]

ve tried four times to reply. wsmith at skywest. dot com Lets try it this way.

[drebas]

hii,do you no where is possible to find a magazine for a savage 1907?i just dont find.i'm from portugal

[maniglia1978]

any one know what kind of holster I would need for a 1907? or where i can get a holster for it? all the ones i find are too big.

[rugersix]

When you find one let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wksmith106]

I found one that fits OK. Not perfect, but OK. It is a Hunter, #4500119415

[tjh141994]

They Don't make guns (or music) like that anymore. Nice vid, once again.

[rugersix]

No they sure don't!

Thanks for watching!!!! =]

[DinoPal]

Junk

[rugersix]

Dino....I think you've had your head burried in the sand a bit to long!

Pull it out buddy!!!! =]

[kb5rbh]

During the mid 60s my dad was shearing angora goats in south Texas.He was approached by a ranch worker with this gun.Dad said he liked the'look and feel"so he bought it.We did not find out this gun was rare ,until 1979,when my football coach saw it,he advised it was a 'treasure".Thanks for reading.

[rugersix]

The .380's are harder to come by so hang on to it. Do you have any history on the gun?

[kb5rbh]

It is .380cal.Thanks.

[kb5rbh]

I have the model 1917 with trapezoidal grip.How about more info on that one.

[rugersix]

Your most welcome!

Hope all is well...haven't heard from you in awhile! =]

[BRENTZ4]

thankss!!!!!

now i can clean my gun!!!!

:)

[BrautdesSoldaten]

I like .32 AUTO Guns!:) very low recoil^^

[rugersix]

YES! Seems like the .32 or 7.65mm round was very popular in the early 1900's!

[ltgesq]

One more note. The spring action on these are a heck of a lot stonger than any other .32, or most any automatic out there. It takes some real hand strength to pull the slide back.

[rugersix]

Oh your right about that! The first time I did a take-down and reassembly on this pistol I got the slide stuck half-way due to the trigger sear popping up...I finally got the thing to break free and the slide went airborne!!! =]

[malibu38368]

Any chance you could post a video showing us how to fix things like that, maybe? Because that'd be really cool, since I seem to be suffering a similar problem, only in my case it's the ejector that's stuck up =/

[rugersix]

Well there is really no fix as Savage made the early models this way the later models do not have this problem. =}

[malibu38368]

Mine was made in 1919, later slide and all! This is a really horrid problem, too, as I can see exactly what's wrong... just have no idea how to fix it =(

[rugersix]

I see! Have you considered taking it to a gunsmith??? I know they are expensive but might be worth it! I have to buck up once in awhile myself!

[malibu38368]

I actually have to go see a guy tomorrow for some parts work on a CZ38 and a Colt revolver that I just acquired which is out of time. Looks like it'll be a hat trick!

If you're curious, it looks like I managed to get the safety lever out of sync with the ejector. The gun is actually "off safe" right now, but the ejector is still in the up position, which has the slide locked open and prevents reinsertion of the breech plug. Would love to know how I did that!

[ltgesq]

Its a shame the .45 version never made it into commercial production. My 1905 .32 shoots as straight as my Colt .45 1991 with the same barrel length.

I'd love to see someone made a replica. With modern CNC machining, the pistol would not be out of this world expensive-- especially since they have 10 less parts than almost any other semi-auto pistol

[rugersix]

Thanks for your in put it is much appreciated! One thing I might add is that your pistol is a Model 1907 not 1905 like is printed on the pistol...that was paten year. A lot of folks are confused by that. Thank You for watching!

[JerryAtrick83]

Awesome disassembly video! I have one of these pistols and am looking for a replacement barrel and a new magazine or two. Do you have any ideas on where I may find these parts?

[rugersix]

Yes!

Numrich Gun Parts (just google them)

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[Kurby1400]

Hey im Portugeuse ... makes me like this pistol even more

[rugersix]

They are indeed great pistols...made back in the day when American Quality really meant something!

[CMLovejoy]

Great video. Good job on the editing.

I gave it 5 stars for relating your gun to history, and staying with a swing dance theme.

[rugersix]

Thank You...The music is actually more in line with the "Roaring 20's" :)

[retroflow44]

Well done.

[rugersix]

Thank You!!!

I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!

[kickedintheballs2000]

Wow I must say you are great at editing your clips they keep getting better and better.

You mind if I drop a word about your clips in one of my clips?

[rugersix]

Thanks "KITB2000" much appreciated! Your clips are extremely helpful as well! Sure if you wish that would be great...I would also like to refer to your channel for tactical tips when I do the Bushmaster review.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Its cool with me man

[Dominick629]

That gun looks like a pain to disassemble for the average person. Great video! and the clothespin was genius!

[rugersix]

This one is a little tricky...my Model 1917 disassembles the exact same way, but they made some changes as that one...the trigger, sear components stay intact when the slide is removed.

[retroflow44]

Your Savage seems to have been made prior to 1914/1915, as determined by the way the rear sight is an insert and not machined in. By 1919 somewhere, the trigger mechanism had been revised to what you're familiar with in the 1917 (which started being produced in 1920).

[rugersix]

Oh you are good aren't you? :)

My 1907 is a 5-digit serial number and based on what I found it came off the line in 1912.

Thanks again for your added facts on these fine pistols.

[retroflow44]

It's not that difficult to disassemble once you know how it's done. People today are used to more conventional "Browning" style actions.

Keep in mind that production of these pistols ended in 1928. During its day, the Savage pistol was considered to be very user-friendly and well designed. It was also a popular pistol and outsold Colt's pocket pistols at one point. As Estates are sold off, these are turning up after some 80+ years.

[rugersix]

Yes! I agree!

Thanks!!!

I would love to find any Savage pocket pistol at an Estate Sale!!! I don't usually fall into deals like that! :[

[sigmasquadleader]

Very good video. I liked the old music, nice touch.

This is the first time I've seen this pistol, very interesting.
