Savage 99 question
I recently bought a Savage 99 on GunBroker. I believe the stock has been replaced (definitely refinished) and am unsure of the model. The forend is schnobel-type with no markings. The buttstock has checkering on the pistol grip area with 2 diamonds in it. This doesn't appear to be original as the lever boss markings indicate 1954 (S/N 750XXX). The rifle is a 24" barrel in .300 Savage.
What should the original stock look like and where did my current stock come from? Also, how do I tell if I have an EG or R?

Does anyone know if a Savage 99 410 barrel will fit on just about any 99? I have an early 99 30-30 takedown and thought the 410 barrel would be nice if it was an easy switch.
Thanks in advance,

Some production Savage 99's had a small lever that was moved forward to lock the lever, located on the right side of the action. Later models don't have this. I had a 99f in .308 that had the lever...if you look closely at picture #19, where the action bar enters the bottom of the action, the small lever is seen. 0 -
I kept looking on the lever but now I see it just behind the trigger. Thanks Rio..quote:Originally posted by Riomouse911

Picture #35 shows the safety lever. It is pushed forward to block the trigger (the internal safety) and also locks the lever closed.
It was the standard safety for many years.0 -
Thanks guys! Pretty cool old rifle none the less.[:)] 0
