The Gun Control Act of 1968 which took effect in October of that year is when serial numbers became mandatory and Savage started putting them on Model 24 guns. My question is, does anyone have a gun that has both the date code stamp (from 1968,1969, or 1970) and a serial number? These would be the 24J-DL black receiver version, 24S-E, 24V-A.

You can't always be SURE as to the date of manufacture with Model 99s, even with a serial number. A more sure way is by what is called the 'Lever Boss Code'.

As an example, if the serial number is used to judge the date of manufacturer, then the examples (below) indicate that your rifle was made in 1968 as Joe (Mad Dog) said. However, to be more sure of that date, check out your Lever Boss Code ('LBC') which is a number (the inspector's number) followed by a letter indicating the year of manufacture. Note that your rifle's serial number falls near the end of 1968 in my records (below). Note the LBC. '19' is the inspector's number and 'V' stands for the year 1968. U= 1967: 1134xxx, 1136xxx, 11391xx V= 1968: 1165XXX(16V), 1171xxx, 1172283(19V), 1184xxx (19V) W= 1969: A009045 (Jan), A226071 (June), A279775, A296xxx, The most accurate method of determining the year of manufacture of Model 99 rifles made from 1949 to 1971 is by using what is called the 'Lever Boss Code'.

Even more accurate than the rifle's serial number. Savage began stamping an inspector's number and a letter in a poorly (and very faintly) stamped oval on the lever boss (the extension on the lower, front side of the receiver in which the lever rotates) in 1949.

This is what is called the “Lever Boss Code”. Savage continued to use Lever Boss Code numbers & letters until 1971. The letters 'O' and 'Q' were skipped and not used in the Code series due to their similarity. The number was the inspector's number plus the letter indicating the year of manufacture. ('A' was used in 1949, 'B' in 1950, 'C' in 1951 and so forth).

And so, if a rifle were made in 1968 & inspected by Inspector #12, it would have a Lever Boss Code that looked like this (inside the oval): 12 V Please look (you may need a magnifying glass) at your rifle and tell us the Lever Boss Code. Strength & Honor.
