hey folks, not sure if this one has been covered in past but is anyone doing a survey on 30 inch barrels. I would be curious to know the numbers known on surviving examples in round, octagon and half octagon, plus what caliber they are. if anyone has one please tune in or if you know of one that can be validated. cheers

30" 1899B 30-30, only one I have ever seen. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/16311201/1

28" exist as well.

Where is "Dataman"?

thanks for the link to the past thread. I just got my 25-35 18 99C home here..it is 30 inch and very high condition. I purchased it from the John wright collection. he had notes attached that it was purchased at savage fest 2007 from doug faery. has factory letter with it and all checks out fine.

My brother Dick has a few 30" barrel rifles ,along with some 28" barrel rifles. I have a couple 28" barrel rifles. Most are special order engraved guns and are going to be in Davids upcoming book. Don

That is a beauty Rare 99's. As Don says Dick and Don's rifles will be in the new book.

Just had a chance to check out my extra length 1899s. 1 is 30"B 303 80% condition, another is 28"B pistol grip fancy wood 303 70% condition. Another 28" A 95% condition A engraved A2 checkered. Lettered sold to Browning Brothers Ogden Utah 303 and one 28" C 60% condition 30-30 from John Wright collection non matching butt stock.

No 30" rifles here, got a couple 28" tho.

thanks guys, ok so that puts the running tally at
one -1899C - 25-35
one-1899B-30-30
one-1889B-303
it would be nice to get the details on Dicks few he has to see if they are A, B or C and what calibers. if anyone else has any please tune in, thank you.

Dick already gave his info.. he has the B in 303.

Since so many responded with 28's also, why not do a list of all non standard barrels, wont be that much bigger?

I have a friend that has a 30 inch Savage that is chambered in 32/40. I'm not sure of all the details but I'll try to find out.

I think he was in Tulsa. On 7/21/21 in the 30" 30-30 thread, he posted, "Checking my 1899 data up to WWI, about 1100 rifles, I count 7ea 30" and 10ea 28" have turned up. In the 1895 data, about 590ea there are 5ea 30" and 4ea 28". I have one 1903 28" 1899-B in .303 but it is a gray rat."

Thanks for covering for me Keith. Just not enough hours in the day sometimes.

The 1899 in Ft Smith is a 30" 1899C in 30 30 serial range 26XXX

So KeithNyst and Loggah are brothers?

Not to my knowledge!! Topnotch99 and i are brothers.

Maybe Kindred Spirits?

All you guys back east look the same to me.

LOL

I think all the Radiation and Carcinogens drifting up from Kali has made it hard for guys out your way to grow facial hair?

That was an LOL also!

Probly.

Nah, Loggah makes a much better looking lumberjack. P.S. - I'm east of the MIssissippi, but not by much.
