View Full Version : Savage 99: stock fitting on a 99?

So I've always wanted a Savage 99 . I found a 99EG but it's been cut down and fitted with a rubber recoil pad. They did an OK job but I'd really rather have it in more or less original condition with a steel butt plate. That means finding a stock. Numrich has them listed and there are a few on eBay.
The question is...would a used stock need to be fitted? They look like they are really complex shapes. If the new stock needed to be altered, I seriously doubt I would be able to handle more than a minor amount.
Has anyone had to replace their stock?

There shouldn't be much fitting involved if you can find an original factory buttstock but a replacement stock from Numrichs will take more than your willing to do.
If it were me I'd wait till one came in original condition.

There was a member here that made stocks for the 99, you might search a little and see if you can find him. His quality was top notch.
Found it. Send a pm to user Lee Davis here and see what you can find out.

I just did a stock swap on a Remington model 81 auto. The original had the same thing done to it. A previous owner cut down the stock and put a recoil pad on it. It looked kike hell. I found a original stock on eBay and just put it on. It for perfectly. No problem at all.
I think you're right. Wait for an original stock, not an after market. The issue with the 99 is they made it foe a zillion years so things may have changed from one decade to another. If I find a stock from the 1950's I have no idea if it will fit a rifle from the 1970's or 1930's.

All the tangs were the same size from serial number 90,000 up to the end of the 99 production.

I can get you a new stock that would need no fitting , my stock maker has receivers from me to fit any 1899s or 99s , and does great checkering if you want that and i have original butt plates available.

But is your stock maker north of the border? Not legal to ship a stock across the border without going through the import/export hassle.

I think we can ship to the U.S. Jim, it's coming from the other side to here that gets pretty sticky, thanks to Obama.
I've never had anything stopped anyways.
