Re: Savage 99 makeover

Thank you and no intent to offend but;

All I have is a 99 action minus rotor, screw and sundries. But I do have an unused factory barrel in original grease and a nice piece of Roger Vardy's walnut circa 1995. So I don't think it worthwhile to post for the present.

A mate of mine (Vettore Scapinello) is doing the work but I also have 3 of Westley's (1897 patent) falling blocks, a Jeffrey 404 aka lotsa$ and a restock of an Alex Henry falling block to have done so it'll be a protracted process.

Vettore has done a few square bridge mounts for 99s so I'll try to get a few shots up of those.

Meanwhile (cheap plug here) the "odd man out" WR in new barrel 375 H&H flanged (with new wood) will be for sale next year (cased and engraved). The other 2 are near sequentially numbered as ledger entries 35350 and 35352. Wal Winfer can attest to their authenticity if needs be. This pair will too be offered for sale as "extra finish" with matching wood (C25 contract cut abt 1982).

If Nitrox or others have a copy of the early "Guns and Game" they might scan and post showing Vettore's work. (Mine is the 22rf Martini)

Promise to get a few pics of others incl hunting and post in due course. If I can get some time off for banteng and sambhur next year then it's first off the blocks.
