My winter time project, which may or may not be finished this winter, is attempting to build an TD 1899 with an octagon barrel. My understanding is that Savage never produced such an animal but have been told some where produced. Ever seen one?

I have never seen any factory produced octagon barrel takedowns. I do have a half octagon barrel rifle that LRF a member here built. Been discussed here before ,known as the "PIG GUN" because he built it and used it on a pig or two. super neat rifle. Don
