Plab: Model 99NsN (I'll have to remember that) ...lucky Savage didn't make special runs for distributers like Ruger does now. We might have all kinds of odd ball rifles out there.
Lightfoot: I don't know if Savage Services included the "custom shop" at that time. I would think it might have. Some of the red plastic covered parts manuals state Savage Services on the cover. It would be nice to know more about how they operated.
