Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Front blade for 1899f #265xxx 30/30 20" barrel

I know I could be creative and make something that works but will a Lyman #26cf fit. Not sure of the dimensions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Steve

Hard saying without a factory chart. Is the 26CF the same height as the stock blade?

Steve, sorry no input on your front blade. I forgot if I asked you this before. With you name, treeman, are you in the tree care industry? I was fourth generation in the family doing residential tree care, Joe.

I think the barrel on your rifle is the featherweight with the long integral sight base. So, yes a 26CF is correct. It needs the screw/pin to hold it in place.

Thanks Rick. I have the screw. Just acquired locally a nice old and honest f td 30/30 that still original from what I can tell except for the front blade. Have 3 26 cf with ivory front bead that will be coming my way. Looks like I'll only need one so if anyone has an interest I'll have a couple extra. Just send me a private message.
Joe, 2nd generation and don't think their will be a third. But like you been around the tree business and working with wood my whole life. Then I got hooked on sav 99's and it's a never ending journey! Right when u think your done and say no more something always pulls u back in.

Yep, my son graduated from MD U with two degrees, one in physics and one in computer science. He's working on his Masters in CS and working at NIH. When he was little his mother asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said I don't know what I want to be, but, I know what I don't want to be. A tree climber or a UPS man. Both of the things I've done, Joe.

I always say if a thief wants my identity, he can have it. It's never done me much good, maybe it'll work better for him! And we can always serve as a bad example right Joe?!

I recall someone posting a chart of the Lyman sight blades a long time ago. Did anybody save it?

I have this copy.

That's it. Thanks, Tom.

Yeah, my buddy was just saying yesterday, he had a girl in front and one behind him at the grocery store. They both had their independence cards. He made the statement kind of loud, "Looks like I'm buying everybodies groceries today". We have both worked our arse's off since junior high school. Now all you need is a couple babies and they give you a card to buy all of your chips and beer. Seems like the folks on welfare have better phones than me. I must be setting a bad example, doing it all wrong. I just retired November 1st and I'm thinking of scrounging up 5 or 6 lawns to mow for Savage money. I wonder if there is any way I can go on welfare and keep my pension, kind of double dip, that would be the way to go, Joe.
