Dated the Savage to 1950 and the Remington is a 1949.
The Remington is fully functional with the only mechanical issue being that the inner magazine tube is very difficult to take out and reinsert.
The Savage wouldn't feed at first. I found the lifter was assembled incorrectly and was missing 1 bushing piece. After replacing the bushing and reassembling it correctly it feeds most of the time. I think a deep cleaning will make it more reliable. The gunk is old and like a rock. It's going to take a lot of work to get it cleaned out.
Not every day you get not 1 but 2 functional rifles for $100.
