I have a Savage 1899 Ser # 146xxx. The forearm does not have a tab, barrel band or screw. There is nothing I can see holding the forearm on. Any suggestions on how it is removed?

Are you sure someone didn't swap out the screw for a sling stud?
It's most likely a sling stud holding it on.
No sling stud, no screw, no tab. I tried to pull it straight off but is on there pretty solid.
Never in my life seen such an animal.
Can you post pics of it? Sounds like someone "made" a forearm and glued the thing on it.
Every 99 forearm has either a take down lever or a screw holding it onto the barrel.
Or a barrel band.
