Savage Model 25

A friend of mine has a Savage Model 25 pump action .22 that needs a cartridge guide. I have tried Numrich and surfed the web for hours and can not find anyone that has one. Can anyone direct me to a place that may have one? Thanks

Thanks.............KEN[:)]
But in my experience, parts for many of these older guns can be very hard to find. And locating one might require alot of effort and detective work.
Aside from the parts vendors, you'll probably be left w/searching in gun auction websites for parts/parts guns.
I've also had some luck w/gun parts vendors at gunshows.
Don't give up! I've had parts that have taken me as long as 2 years to find. But I firmly believe your part is out there. It's just up to you to be deligent in your search to find & jump on it when it pops up.
When searching the auctions, learn to think "out of the box". Many people describe things differently or may not know exactly what they have. So a search for "Savage Model 25" might miss an auction listed as "Old .22 pump action rifle parts" or "Savage bolt parts" etc.
Also, all of the vintage hammerless Savage/Stevens pump .22's are decendants of the model 1903 w/some usually minor design improvements or variations. THis means that some parts may interchance between different models. Do your homework and try to learn if perhaps the same part off a Model 29 might work.
The Savage forums @ 24 hour campfire.com or Rimfirecentral.com might have some enthusiests that can be of help in this.
Good luck.
