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,

Your photos are way to small, all we can see are the thumbnail images.
Post your photos again only remove the word "thumbs" from the script.

Capt.,
Yes it appears to be all correct, but is missing a lot of finnish, on both the metal, and wood. I would start it at 699.00, with no reserve, and get a bidding war started, and let it go for 10 days.

The year seems right but it may be a 99G. Although a takedown, it has a pistol grip and a bead front sight. The 99B had a straight grip and a blade front.I think both were made that year. Is it a .300 Savage? Looks like it has a history of putting meat on the table. $699 might be optimistic. Their values do vary regionally.0 -
Thanks for the help, the sights made me think it wasn't a B, and the pistol grip. I'm not realy a Savage expert, it ended up on my table at our clubs bimonthly gun show saturday, so I've been trying to do my home work.
I think I'll start the auction at $599.00
Thanks again for the addvice.
W.D.
