My other two 99H's don't have the barrel band covering the barrel address. One is a 303 and the other a 30-30

The vertical dimension 0f the 1895 band and forearm appear much thinner than the H-BB
Very cool, even if it's been faked somehow. Count me as intrigued either way

My 303H has part of the address covered by the band but its much later. I think it looks legit. Like said before, serial numbers would confirm more.

"Does the stock have a shoulder to which the band is abutting?" No. Not with the 1895 SRC forearm.
"... if the barrel is cut for a screw attachment on the forearm, etc." Good question. It would have a dovetail on the bottom of the barrel for the SRC forearm screw but I don't know if it is in the same location as on an 1899 rifle. Doug, David that is a question for you with 1895 SRC's.
"looks like the head with no slot ..." There is no photo of the other side. I wonder if it is a nail?
"...also the lettering on the 1895 is not covered up with the band." I assume this means an 1895 SRC. That is a question I was going to ask...thanks.
"Did Savage actually place the barrel band over the lettering on the barrel? Yes. That was some data I collected because I thought it was strange but as it turns out it is fairly common. It's like when ever they ran a batch of H barrels the guy would sometimes forget to make the location adjustment.
