My apologies to Ralph. After a phone conversation with Steve in IL, he explained to me the substantial size differences between an old 1899 and a 70's era 99. Until I took this new stock, that would not even get close to fitting my 1899 regardless of fine tuning, I would not have believed there was such a huge difference in dimensions. I took this replacement stock and put it on a 70's era 99 that I have, and it fit perfectly. I will now call Ralph and apologize to him for my comments. Frustrating. I really thought I was being swindled.
