Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Savage 1899 issues

I have acquired a Savage model 1899 serial number 30352. It is somewhat of a barn find. I need a Hammer Retractor Spring. It is missing. Does anybody know of a source. Thank you in advance.

Is this the one that shows on the diagrams as a 99-429, or is it external to the bolt?

Pre 90K it's the external style. Very very hard to find! Can be made from a safety pin though.

I bought one on eBay recently, they do show up from time to time.

Thanks for the advice. I have been looking on Ebay. I may try making the part as suggested. Given the barn find appearance of the gun I should probably just part it out. But it locks up very tight and the internals seem good. Just something about a gun whose original owner might have fought in the civil war. I have two model 99s my grandfathers a 1937 build and mine built in 1953, so I could have a very small collection.

I tried to PM you, but you are apparently over some limit, so if you would consider selling it as is, please contact me at 602 421 5225. Pictures helpful.
