My step dad wanted me to research his Savage Model 219 in 30-30. He also has a M220 12gauge barrel for the gun. The rifle has a Marbles front site, finish is 95%. The barrel says "proof tested". rifling is good bore is shiney. I found one in completed auctions on gunbroker.

Is there collector interest or are they purchased by users/for kids rifles?

The trigger is inoperable for some reason and the breech opens a little hard. He is wondering if it is worth the cost of repair?

Would the proof marks or any other feature of the gun be helpful in determining the year of manufacture?

Thanks
