Arthur Savage and the Development of the Savage Lever Action Rifle
Continued from the May issue
By David Royal
Two of these muskets were entered into the U.S. military rifle trials in 1892 but were beat out by the Krag-Jorgensen rifle. The Krag's magazine was easier to load and its straight pull bolt was easier to operate in the prone position than the Savage(5). This rifle had a round counter on the left forward side of the receiver as specified in the Army's requirements. The Krag didn't have a round counter. The round counter was continued on most Savage lever action rifles into the 1980's. These two rifles were probably built for Arthur Savage by Colt. The caliber is unknown but may have been 30-40 Krag.
Savage then refined his design to a much smaller five-shot rotary magazine rifle that was patented in 1893. See Figures 12 and 13.
Figure 15, This shows Arthur Savage's patent drawing for the Model 1895 Savage.
Figure 12. Savage's 1893 patent rifle. This view shows the lever closed.
Figure 13,The 1893 patent rifle with the lever open.
It had a closed-loop lever and was designed for a small pistol type cartridge (this rifle is believed to be chambered in 3220). It had a checkered stock and sporting-type forearm and was obviously intended for the civilian market. The Savage factory rifle has no markings as is the case with the other prototypes in the factory display. See Figure 14.

Arthur Savage further refined this design and felt that he had developed a viable production rifle. This latest design had a larger receiver (but smaller than the 1892) than the 1893 prototype and fired a modern smokeless powder cartridge designed by Arthur Savage. It was called the .303 Savage (not to be confused with the .303 British) and was similar to Winchester's 30-30. In my opinion Savage should have also produced a smaller rifle based on the 1893 prototype to compete with Winchester's Model 1892 and Marlin's Model 1894.
Savage lacked the facilities to produce this rifle and contracted with Marlin to produce the rifle. About 5000 were produced. The serial numbers range from about 3000 to a little over 8000. See Figure 15 for Patent number 502,018, July 25, 1893.
The 1895 was very successful and resulted in Savage being able to obtain funding to open his own factory in Utica in late 1898.
This subject will be covered in more detail in Chapter One of my upcoming book "A collector's Guide to The Savage 99 Rifle and It's Predecessors the Model 1895 and Model 1899".
