Not sure if this has been shared here before or not??
Being a fan of the Sav 1899's, and old machinery in general, I received a copy of the 1915 first edition of Planing and Shaping by Franklin Jones today and while perusing I discovered that starting on p 251, it contains several pages showing the fixturing and machining operations for the old Savage 1899 and Auto pistols!!
Posting a link to an online copy that allows me to index to page 251... the unmistakeable 1899 straight lever being machined... other steps explained in the pages that follow:
Savage 1899 and Auto pistol machining operations
but it's also available from Google online...
Planing & Shaping - Google online link
Hope others here will enjoy as well...
