Nice score.
Do some research on that before you start running modern factory ammo through that. The bolt on those locks at the rear. It's not nearly as strong as the more cloned/imitated Mauser bolt with the front locking lugs.

Thanks Bobby. On the Savage 1899's the cut off point was serial number 90,000. After that they had special heat treating for smokeless powder, even though the first 303 Savage was designed as a smokeless round. Back in the day Savage would convert the 1899 bolt to the newer improved bolt for $5. This one is serial 122xxx so I'm good to go.

The 30-30 isn’t loaded hot......
And the 99 is fine with pressure.... chambered in 308.........
They are slick rifles.
You can use Pointy Bullets

They were chambered in 308,243, 284, 375 and 358, but you can't rechamber a pre 1 million rifle to the 308 class of cartridges. They did some factory grinding inside so they would fit in the magazine. Gotta go, the bacon is burning!

So guys uhh what the best two stroke oil to use? Lol

 

[rarefish383]

Very fine......Marbles sights?

This one has upgraded special order Savage #21 rear and the Rocky Mountain Knife Blade front, which became standard in 1911. I have a couple with Marbles and Lyman tang peep sights.

Thanks.
But I got NO problems with rear locking lugs.....bolts included.

Yep. If you put Red and black oil in an orange and white saw you have no idea what color you might get.

No because i know what kind of saw you are running. i need a souped up chain for the 241 before the GTG in TN. Can you help me out?

Only if the chain is over 30 caliber and the saw is loaded with 4895. Then it matters a lot.

I’ll drive to NC and get my Silvey Square Grinder.
And I’ll grind you one.
Can I wait for the creeks to go down?

Standard. If you have a magnum primer bulb, you should be using PB Blaster.
