What is the serial number?
Carbine? Is it a 1899F saddle ring carbine or 1899H take down?
The barrel address dates in David's or Murray's books are approximate/very close, however, exceptions do exist and we've seen some here.
The barrel address did change over the years. Even if Savage had hard stop and start dates as to when an address change happened there was certainly work in process and inventory in stock. All to be used.
