A friend of mine bought a Savage 99 in .308 stamped as "Savage Modell 99M" with an "X" under the first line. The Serial Number is 10794XX.
Unfortunately the hammer cock indicator pin doesn't come out with cocked hammer. I took it apart and found the indicator pin is broken. You don't get a spare part here in Germany. The stock is not made of fine wood and someone painted with clear paint. Not realy good, but a good base to make something fine of it. :-) Anyhow, he ist thinking about selling the 99 again, because he found out that he is no lever-action man, he preferes modern guns and is looking for a Blaser R8 now.
So I am thinking about buying the 99.
Can anybody tell me, what was the manufacturing year of this rifle?
Many thanks in advance and best regards from Germany
