So today I picked up my 3rd 99---a 250-300TD to go with the high power TD and the .300.The 250 has a lot of character in it's stock if you know what I mean,I was thinking of replacing it with somehting from Macon stock,but maybe not.I thought the LOP on the 250TD was short,but in comparison to the .300 surprisingly it was the same.Man I love these rifle,wish I had found them years ago.How hard is it to replace the extractor in one of these?I have my eye on 30-30 saddle ring that's missing that part.

If you start with a new extractor it will need fitted to your bolt. Takes some time but not overly difficult. A used one might drop in but it is used so I wouldn't. I have some new ones if you need.

I would not mess with the stock unless it is absolutely broke. Fitting a new on isn't the easiest task and will kill its value.

You might be surprised how much character could be removed with some careful steaming and a good refinish.

good advice --thanks guys

99’s grow on a person!!
