I have been carving new stocks for my 6 Savage 99 rifles. I have an 1899B, the octogon barrel model, a 1899H Takedown in 22HP, a .303 Model F Takedown, and a .300 Model G Takedown. I no sooner get a pair carved for my own rifles before it gets sold, or given to a fellow '99 enthusiast. So, I have been gearing up to produce more stocks. I have gotten many questions over the years on how to carve a shotgun buttstock (and forearm), and so I have worked up a set of detailed instructions (with photos!) on how to carve a Savage '99 pair (it would be the same for any rifle or shotgun that has a separate butt stock). If you want a copy of these instructions, I would be happy to send them to you, no charge. It shows how to drill the bolt hole through the stock in advance, and then how to center on that for the carving. When the stock is finished, the through bolt aligns with the receiver, every time. Whether carving a stock by hand, or with a machine, this will show you how to do it right. Also includes instructions on setting up and carving a forearm. I can send it in the form of a pdf file to your email address. Just write me and request it. No charge. Lee Davis radarcarve@comcast.net
