If one were to call or write to Savage and submit model and serial number, would they be able to provide how the rifle was built and shipped? Even if they charged a nominal fee, it would be worth it. Or is that beyond the realm of wishful thinking?
Yes, you can get a factory letter on some 1899's. The early ones tell date received to the warehouse, date shipped to original consignee, and what model. I don't think the 50's guns get as much info with a letter. Someone else will have more details on the letters. They used to be $25 dollars.
