    To drill and tap, or not?

    Ok here it is in a nutshell:

    Yes its a 1946 model 99 EG in 300 savage.

    BUT!

    It is still all numbers matching, and is seriously a 9+ out of 10. If this rifle has more than 3 boxes of rounds through it I will eat a shoe.

    Blueing is a 8.5+ (typical thinning at the muzzle from a soft case)
    The case hardening is 9+ (couple scratches from working the lever)
    And the wood is also a 9+

    The gun is stupid accurate! With handloads I shot a one ragged hole about 1-1.25 inches at 50m, with a scope im sure she'd be a sub MOA rifle.

    So please assure me that its just a 99 EG in 300 savage like millions of others and go ahead and drill and tap.
