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?

I have a '99 in .308. When I shoot military 7.62 Nato, extraction is very difficult. This does not happen when using commercial .308. Any Ideas? Thanks to all. Bob 0 -
I have had the same problem with my early model BLR. It has a tight chamber and I have to use RCBS small base dies for reloading.However, it seems that the British 7.62 NATO ammo headstamped "RG" dosen't give this problem. This is also a common problem in the Winchester .308 autos and box mag lever guns (tight chambers). I was told or read once, what the reason for this is but I don't remember. Stick with the British "RG" stuff and you should be OK.ranahan 0 -
The 99 is too good for some ammo.I would not use military stuff in mine,,I have 8 99s ,none in 308 though.Some of that stuff has a coating that gets melted when fired,and kinda sticks to the chamber like glue.
Will the last reb to leave flarda,please bring the flag?[This message has been edited by 218Beekeep (edited 09-21-2001).]0 -
