I recently bought a sav. m 99 and am not sure of the model. ser. # is 3271xx in .303 sav. with a 24 inch barrel.it is a solid frame rifle with a takedown barrel. receiver does not have the indexing slot but there is an arrow with the word " off " on the barrel. if you take the fore-stock off , there is an "A" on the end of the receiver. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Straight grip or pistol?
Crescent buttplate or shotgun?

That is most likely a pre war post 1927 E. But with that serial number in 303 should have a 22" barrel. Only the 300 was made with a 24" barrel in those days.
Something don't smell right
Pics would be very helpful...

Sounds like a 99A to me. Takedown barrels on solid frame receivers of that era have seen enough to believe the factory was putting them out that way.

I don't doubt the takedown barrel on a solid frame, but an A with a shotgun buttplate?
Maybe...
Never say never...
