1946 99 EG .300 Lever

[mullet.key]

New to SavageShooters. My lever started jumping the groove machined into Part 99-25. Actually the little pencil-eraser size button on the lever is showing some wear. Can a competent gunsmith rebuild the button, dress it smooth and expect it to work?

I'd grab another lever, theres usually a couple on Ebay at all times or try Numrichs.

Just make sure it's a curved lever and not a straight grip lever off one of the old 1899's.

A smith could build it up and rework it but I'd think it would be easier to just replace the old one.

I will look for a replacement, curved that is. Thanks

what do you mean by the button are you talking the safety ?or the button that locks the bolt inplace?? i have a spare lever in excellent shape ,lots of case color on it .

Helping guys find parts is fine as long as your not openly starting threads to sell them but this thread was started in January, doubt he's still around.
