The auction ran all day. I was on the auction for hours. My internet dropped on the lot before the rifle I wanted. My internet came back on the lot after the rifle I wanted. I'm sure the neighbors heard many very bad words coming from my house. There will be alcohol flowing tonight. Life sucks sometimes.

Man I'd be pissed if I missed that one. How much did it end up going for?

Looks like we have th same taste in rifles and conditions. I would have paid 950 for that guy if the stock has no cracks. Sorry for your loss

Since it's an 1895 carbine, I'd have paid more.

Listed as a Model 99. Pretty clear they didn't know what they were selling.

Not that it doesn't have problems.. wrong forearm to start with. SAV 303 stamped on the barrel as well(?). Wrong sights. Little finish. Wood slightly sanded.
But it's an 1895 carbine.
I'm going to take this as a sign that I was supposed to save my money for something nicer that'll be showing up.
Right? That must be it.. I'm sure it's it... Sniff..

I guess I am on old careful Scot, but how could you call that an 1895 carbine? Almost but not quite perhaps, but reminds me of the old joke about the family axe…my daddy replaced the head and I replaced the handle….I have my great uncle’s SRC intact (one of my cousins did a very respectful refinish of the wood years ago), and it has clearly been used and respected…..now that might be worth some consideration in a sale, but as a “family gun” it will never be sold as long as there are males in my family.

It was a sign.
There was a reason you didn't get that gun, you just don't know what it is yet....

Obviously has an 1899 or 99 forearm on it. Nothing exists with an 1895 carbine buttstock/buttplate and saddle ring except an 1895 carbine.

Was the bolt an 1895 bolt or early 1899? Savage did convert some 1895 SRCs (3 known) to 1899 bolt, shortened barrel to 20 inches. Perhaps this was another method of converting unsold 1895 SRCs to 1899???? Too bad you missed it .... would have been fun to inspect closely.

too bad. the 1895 forearm and barrel band would be hard to find but 1895 serial number and 22" barrel means it must have the 1895 barrel address, Marlin JM or J stamp etc.

Well it's not the end of the world. Once I was severely sore about selling a waffle top Marlin 35 Remington only later to stumble upon a 1980 limited run Remington 760 35 Remington that served me better. I also passed on a Remington 700 CDL in 35 Whelen only to find a 700 limited Classic in the same caliber that had more character. There will be more. I attended Savage Fest in Sauk City Wisconsin a year ago, but must have missed it this year. There was alot of nice stuff for sale there. Right now I may have an eye out for a 99 in 30-30 made in the 20's.
