Just picked up a rebarreled Savage 99 takedown 30-30 from 1920.
I'm looking for a gunsmith that is familiar with these located in
southern California. With my limited web searching it looks like
Bain & Davis is at the top of my list at this point.
This was rebarreled and they did a poor job as headspace is off
(closes on a field guage). If I have to sent this out for fixing I
thought I'd look into getting a couple extra barrels for it based
on the 30-30 I would like to get a 25-35 and 38-55 if possible.
I expect the 38-55 will end up being a rebore and could use a
wore out 30-30 or 303 barrel.
The buttstock and fore-end are damaged and I will rebuild this rifle
with new wood. Does anyone have exprience with Gunstocks, Inc
in Iowa?
Can you recommend a source for parts, barrels, stocks and or a good
gunsmith?
Thanks,
Jay
