What are they?

 

[jtw1313]

looks like the one on the right is a gun sight with adjustment knob on the side and the other is a hammer

What makes you think it's off a gun? I can't see anything that resembles a gun.

 

[l.cutler]

Yeah, nothing from a gun there, the one on the right looks like a shut off or adjustment knob of some sort.

 

[jtw1313]

Looks like it went on the end of a rifle to me it is hollow through looks like the knob raised and lowered the plastic piece maybe you guys can't see it well I will put up more pics later

 

[creskol]

The item you are calling a hammer looks more like the movable jaw from a basin/faucet wrench.

 

[jtw1313]

Yeah wasn't sure about that one but the other one deffinatly looks like a gun sight to me any ideas

 

[BosnMate]

Front sights are not adjustable, rear sights are not a single post, it's not off a gun.

Look closer, your Savage cartridge case is a 250-3000, dates back from the early 1900's to now. Savage was rather proud of that cartridge because it was the first bullet to have a muzzle velocity of 3000 feet per second. The model 99 savage rifle means 1899, but the cartridge dates later than that. Google "Savage 250-3000" and you'll get plenty of information. There is also a web page of shotgun head stamps, and if you google that, you will probably find your answer. Without a photo and more information, it's impossible to tell anything.

250/3000 was developed in 1915 by Charles Newton. It lives on as the base for the .22-250 and new rifles in tha caliber can still be purchased , as can the ammunition.

If your gun pieces are smaller than a breadbox they may be from an M-1 Carbine. For some reason the toggle looks like the safety lever as I recall it.

I was thinking the poster was thinking rear sight aperture like #25,but I cant turn theirs into one?

I'm going to get some better pics on here for you guys so you can see why I think the one is a gun sight
