I picked up a new to me Savage 1899 Featherweight 30/30 today at my local gun shop. It's my first Utica gun and it's in really good shape with a nice bore and 20" barrel. It has a perch belly stock and schnabel forend. No cracks, no holes for sling swivels and no extra holes in the metal. It also has the Savage micrometer rear sight which I thought was unusual for a carbine. Anyway here's the usual question, when was it made s/n 161XXX lever boss code is an H in a circle. My book list the serial number as 1914. Thank you Gentlemen.
