    It's doubtful if it was originally from the factory that way, but here's the man who can tell you.

    John T. Callahan,
    Savage Arms Historian
    PO Box 82
    Southampton, MA, 01073

    Send John the serial number of your rifle and any other pertinent info and a check for $30 and you'll likely have your response in less than a month. He's VERY prompt and the factory letter is worth it when/if you go to sell the rifle.

    Extremely long odds of it being original. To be factory special stocked, probably would also have high grade wood, checkering, etc. What does the buttplate say? Fajen?

    I seem to remember seeing a Savage advertisement for that stock on a 99, maybe 50 yrs. ago. Don't remember calibers.....

    I have a savage 99 22hp with what appears to be a factory mannlicher stock with a Schnabel forearm tip. Has anyone seen another, could it be factory and how rare would it be. I have owned it for about 10 years and have often wondered. Thanks for your input guys.


    Gearheaddad seems to know a fair amount about the 99's, give him a shout!
