Hard saying if thats a good price without pictures or a better description. Regardless, I would try talking him down on the tang crack as I don't think there is anything such as a stable crack short of gluing it up.

Hello Rusty 51: I sent you a PM. Look for the flashing envelope up in the RH corner beside your log in name.

Tang cracks never get any better.
You might want to buy it just for the Lyman if it a 29 1/2, 30 1/2 or 56 or 57 and ditch the gun. I've bough rifles before just to get the sight or scope off them.
If you just want to hunt it and don't care if it glued and screwed no prob. If you want to shoot it more than 5 times a year, I'd pass
Just me.

Haven't been collecting 99s for years but I did do quite a bit of research and hunting for the best priced one and you could find a better deal on a cracked stock than $650 as long as youre patient.
