Interrupted threads and a knurled jam nut?
I have two Savage 219s (one from Utica and one from Chickopee Falls), both .30-30, one has its original 16-ga. barrel/forearm and the other was sold before I bought the rifle/receiver). The comment about them always being set the wrong way is the way it is in the field for sure, but you CAN carry the spare and ammo in a pack and switch out in the field.
