How do you remove the stock on this gun? Remove the butt plate. You'll see a hole near the center of the butt. You'll need a big flat point screwdriver. An old '60s style jack handle will work most times. There's a slotted screw at the bottom of the hole in the butt stock. Very carefully engage the screwdriver in the slot. Make sure that the screwdriver is in the slot and not along side of the screw. If that happens you'll end up with a broken stock when you turn it. Once you're certain that the screwdriver is in the screw slot remove the screw. Once the screw is removed pull the butt stock straight back. Don't even think about wiggling it side to side to loosen it. Again, you'll end up with a broken or cracked stock. Having done all that you'll have a stock in one hand and the rest of the rifle in the other.

It almost surely never had a case with it. The cased set was almost exclusively for a 99G in 300 Savage, not 303 Savage.
Never say never, but the 410 barrel was available separately and so it was most likely just those two. I looked at a 99G cased set at a local show a few years ago that was in .303, with a .410 barrel. It was priced out of my reach so it stayed there. Of course, who's to say someone along the line didn't swap rifle barrels on it. I suppose a letter would tell the tale.

Savage did sell the 410 barrels and cases separately. Towards the end of production the catalogs sort of hinted that other calibers could be ordered as a cased set. they no longer specified 300 Savage as the only caliber available in the cased set.
wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

I have a set that consists of a Savage case, a 99G in .30-30 and a .410 bbl. Both barrels are 22 inches, and 24 inch barrels would not fit in this case. The .300 Sav/.410 sets had 24 inch barrels.
I do not know if my set came together originally. I am a little suspicious that it may have been "put together" as the .410 bbl will screw in so that the top of the barrel is past top dead center when the barrel is tight. Can anyone tell me an easy way to check headspacing when the bbl is lined up correctly so the bolt will close?

Does a 2 1/2" cartridge fit in when the barrel is indexed properly? Start there.
