Here is an original old survivor I found recently. It is a Model 1899 Saddle Ring Carbine with 1/2 octagon barrel in 303 Sav 54xxx serial#. It came in a friend of mines shop from an old collector. I am WAY understudied when it comes to classic Savages. I know enough though to recognize an oddity when I see it. All number match, so I sent off for a letter today. I would love to see a pic of a similarly configured rifle; if one exists.
