Ithaca 49 Saddlegun 49S22S18
The M49 Saddlegun is a single-shot falling block rifle with a dummy magazine tube that was made from 1961 to 1979 in Ithaca, New York. Introduced in 1961, about 31,000 were sold the first year. At just under $20, it was perfect for the market as it resembled a Winchester. From 1961 to 1979, roughly 500,000 are said to have been made. It is chambered in .22 Rimfire or 22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire). Loading is quite similar to Martini rifle, but the hammer is external and must be cocked manually. Also unlike the Martini, M49 has very positive extraction. The sights are typical of entry-level 22s, post and notch, with unmarked drift and elevation adjustments. The finish of the painted aluminum receiver tends to wear poorly. The barrel is marked "M-49 .22 Cal Short, Long, Long Rifle / Ithaca Gun Co., Ithaca N.Y., Made in U.S.A.". The serial number is found on the left side of the frame. The gun is mounted with blade mounted to a barrel band front sight. The rear sight is an elevator leaf with the elevator in place.
