I have a savage m 1899 b; ser #124xx ; in .303 cal. with a .311 bore with good rifling .All my other .303's have a .308 bore.I have heard the " .311 bores are accidents "theories , etc. . To me there are toomany exactly .311 bores for it to be an accident.True or false ?
I also have a sav m 1899 , ser. # 320xx in 30-30 which has a pistol grip stock with the first style lever (straight as on rifles without pistol grip ).I'm interested to know , approx. how many pistol grip stocks were built with the straight lever? (i.e. are they very common ? )
Sorry for trying to glean information from the experts when I have very little expertise to offer , but that's how we learn.
Thanks in advance
