So my Nephew has a 99A in .308 Win. that is somewhat perplexing. I was hoping someone on this forum could shed some light. The serial # puts the manufacture around the late 40's. The .308 Win. was not introduced until early 50's. It's a Factory/Savage barrel in .308 Win but the barrel length is 19 inches. The lever boss dose not have a Date/letter code stamped. Also the left side of the barrel shank has a letter "Q" stamped. I think what my Nephew wants to know is one, an accurate date of manufacture?Two Is this a gunsmith's basterdization or an early prototype that Savage used parts on hand? See photos below...….
Thankyou!
