Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 99 B TD 26"

I have it on layaway till i find some scratch, high ser number 3663xx Murrys book says ser no ended around 344000 . rick binn ,calhoun do either of u guys have higher numbers than 344000.

thanks

Not I! All the numbers match?

An octagonal barrel takedown?

ya , i looked at so many guns last night , i believe numbers matched on that one.

no 99 model B round barrel

The 1899A became the 99A (solid frame) and the 99B (takedown) in 1921.

Like the 1899H became the 99E (solid frame) and 99F (takedown).

And the 1899 250-3000 became the 99G with 303 Savage, 30-30 Winchester, the spanking new 300 Savage and 22 Savage Hi-Power calibers available.

you guys still have not commented on having seen a higher serial number that 344000

i. have confirmed that all numbers match . it has a shotgun style butt plate.

so with that high a serial number and not a cresent butt plate do I assume that its a special order?????

Have you seen what is stamped on the front of the receiver? Might be a special order long barrel 99F?

i will have to wait till i pay for it

Norm, the 99B went from a 26" brl to a 24" brl at around 300,000. Can't say too much about your rifle till we know what is stamped on the front of the receiver and top and bottom of the barrel. Can't wait to find out more.

hopefully in a week or two

yes F on the front of reciever, 3oo savage 24inch barrel,but but but where is the checkering , ser no 3663xx and Calhoun you may have to change your book as it states [ checkering starts at 366001
:/so i will be interesting to find the actual number when the checkering started on the F.

norm

how many checkered Fs are out there and what are their numbers , i know Johnno had one ,, how about loggah , fug, rick binn bill from canada, calhoun????

There's hardly ever a "firm" cutover point, a change to a model is usually date based rather than serial number based. Yours is very close to the 99F checkering implementation - but might have been finished earlier than others in that range. Especially possible given that it's a special order.

Very cool gun!

Checkered V1 99F's are pretty uncommon, I don't have one but I know a good number of folks on here do.

This is Rick's, I believe the serial is 366,5xx.

In my pics: 3570xx not checkered; 3663xx is checkered

36412x not checkered and now we know 3663xx (we need at least the next number of the serial) is in this group.
36632x is checkered

Here are the checkered F's I have data on:
In 1937
36632x
36633x
36636x
36656x

in 1938
3770xx
377?xx
3785xx

In 1939
388?xx
3880xx
3884xx

in 1940
3951xx

in1941
3984xx

300 Sav 2ea
30-30 3 ea
303 3 ea
250-3000 3 ea
22HP 1 ea (I think this might be the hardest .22HP to find)

323

Are uncheckered F's in 22 Hi-P pretty rare too? Mine was produced in 1930.
