    New Stocks

    I have found the website of a company that manufactures Stock carving duplicators, and it has inspired me to perhaps buy one and set up a company that custom carves new gunstocks. Is there much of a demand? I have several Savage 99 stocks that I can do for myself, but, of course, I would like...

    Is this normal?

    I am an average 65 year old guy and live in Belen, New Mexico. Something is bothering me... On the interstate outside of town is a manufacturer (rock crushing machinery), and below their business sign is a another sign, almost equivalent in size that states in bright bold letters: "TREASON"...

    Scope mounting on a Savage 99

    I know that Stith made a scope mount for the Savage 99, but I was wondering if there were any '99's that were tapped on the top of the receiver by the factory? There are a hell of a lot of them that had a scope mounted, and so have the two holes on the receiver... but I am under the assumption...

    Savage 99 and Winchester 94

    How does the Savage 99 compare to the Winchester 94? Are there any major advantages/disadvantages to either? Why is it always the '94 that you see in westerns, and never a '99?

    monthly gun budget

    Money well spent I was married for 33 years to the last Ice Queen, but I learned early on to treat her right and spend money on her (like a new Lexus). But, I kept my hobbies and passions a secret from her, whenever possible. 'Cept when I rode the new BMW R1150 home, and the feces hit the fan...

    Savage 99 "Fruitwood" stocks

    Figured it out I have learned that the wood used on some of the Savage 99's is Gumwood. Also known as Red Gum, or Sweet Gum, it is an American wood of eastern forests. It is a close grained medium density hardwood that takes stains well and can be chosen to look very close to walnut, depending...

    Savage 99 "Fruitwood" stocks

    I know that many of the Savage Model 99 carbines of the 1920's and '30's were made with what Murray in his book on the rifles calls "Fruitwood". Does anyone know what the specific wood was? Thanks

    Savage 99 in .303

    I just got a Savage 1899B, in .303 caliber and was wondering how the .303 compares to the other modern calibers, like 30-30 or 30-06. Any thoughts? Also, would it be an acceptable round for Elk?

    I have a New England Westinghouse Mosin, and was wondering what the original finish was. Shellac perhaps?
