Savage 220 Slug Gun Action question???

[338x]

Can someone tell me if the action on a Savage 220 slug gun is the same as a model 12 rifle action (except the bolt)? Is it a short or long action? Mag interchangeability with rifle action? Etc... Cheers, Fred.

I passed your question along to a colleague of mine. He wrote:



I designed the original 12 ga. with a blind top loading mag that used the 110 stock die/mold with inserts and a new top slide for the action.



The stock was the most expensive tooling @ about 20 grand v/s 140 for a stock mold.



The receiver was investment cast including the top of the mag well and feed lips. Bottom was molded in the stock.



It had a three lug front lockup with 60 degree rotation. It used a 110 trigger.



After I retired it was changed to a removable mag design and a 20 Gauge added.
