Now why does your have the rounded stud for the sling and mine have the flat bottom? Is that some old chewed up antler-bone down under the Butt Stock? Or Part of an old Branch? Sure Looks like old Antlered-bone. Steve �Can we move this along?" a bored voice stated. "I have places to be and people to shag."

Thats an old chewed on moose rack that was laying around the deer camp, 2 year old spike bull. Good eating those little buggers. Kinda like Walleye. It's nice to get a 9 pounder for the wall bu they taste like crap. Same goes for moose, the little one are tastier. 24 hour sarcastic S.O.B.

I still like what you guys call Jac-Fish, as good as walleye Especially if you back-azz-wards fillet them,,then no bones,,and old swede showed that trick up at our place in Canada. Works like a charm. Steve �Can we move this along?" a bored voice stated. "I have places to be and people to shag."

I think all pre-war 99R's had fluted combs.. but can't find any notes on this. Nice 99RS there, Steve. I had one for a bit, but passed it along - it was so nice it made me nervous. Got a nice 99R shooter now.

This one is a 300. And I don't think it ever saw much light of day in it's life. [img]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r217/1899Sav/IMG_1290.jpg[/img] Very Beautiful rifle. Pardon my ignorance but are the swivel studs original. Thank you (interested because I have a rifle with that type of stud) Thank you,sir.

I have a couple other 99's with almost the same checkering pattern on the side panels as your does. 1899, Sorry I haven't been around sooner, two guys who were very important to me, my dad and a hunting mentor, passed away within a week of each other, they will be missed. My 99RS is a .300Sav. I have heard of two other guns that went back to G&H for mounts and have the same checkering pattern, I think it was a package deal?
