ctw say's the 800,000 he's seen were drilled through the stamp.The one I have coming isn't stamped on the side,has a scope,so I'm assuming it's drilled through the stamp.I'll have it in a few day's.

That statement is true with the revalation that at least one 800k rifle has the markings on the side seems maybe the 800k rifle were experiments?? Maybe??

So then some had the SAVAGE 99 stamped on top and some on the side. 99R's? Never make generalizations off of a sample of one. I thought sqweelers is stamped on top and Doug’s on the side. I don't know that he was making a generalization. He was merely stating that based on the small sample size we have one or some(there may be others) are stamped on top or on the side. Which appears to be the case...

Okay... sample of two.  For the ones in 99R wood drilled through the top stamp, would be awesome to be able to check assembly codes on stock/receiver and see if it's a match.

Just to explain.. I'd be surprised that the factory would experiment with non-d&t 99R's several years after they started making all 99R's d&t. Talk about ticking off your customers. Never say never, just nice to get proof.

So then why in the HELL did the 800k sn range end with only a few? Really was not that long ago.

Fug's 99R - sn 835,08x. Standard 99R from looks of it, though the jewelled bolt would place it later than '53 if it fits in with other jewelled bolt 99R's I've seen. No date letter on lever boss, just inspector number of 20. E on the side.. inspector number? oddly placed date code? ![[Linked Image]](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1757/42443860011_8f6cba6188_c.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/882/42443868901_43e9beea95_c.jpg)

Some one got busy on the forend. And the round counter hole loooks a bit off. Both look 1895ish
I see know two rifles one 1895 and another 800k
So Don's rifles not drilled and tapped stampted on top and Doug's rifle D&T stamped on the side seems the 800k where a mish mash

The "E" on Fug's is probably an inspector's stamp,maybe.The one I have coming has boss code stamp "E" and a "A" stamped on the side. ![[Linked Image]](https://s22.postimg.cc/s1ajjs5up/100_2412.jpg)

Yeah, we should pin down when they started those stamps on the side. Or maybe they aren't there consistently. That would surprise me.

I have no info on the receiver inspectors stamps. Will have to start from scratch on that one.

Considering the recent chat, here's a neat full page Savage EG & R, eBay ad from 1956 on the Net. Illustrated & very readable! Cleaned it up a bit. > Just flunked the 98kb test. PITY! Here was the source. Just be sure to memorize the Web address in case you lose it!  https://www.ebay.com/itm/184638104835?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D262497%26meid%3D64ecd6751a0d4ad5b51053a71df6c890%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D174232858448%26itm%3D184638104835%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWebV9BertRefreshRanker&_trksid=p4429486.c101224.m-1 Best!
