I was given a old Savage 99 in pieces. The serial number dates it to 1908 and the chambering is in 30-30.
My first 99. It makes me want to have more.
I figured out ( I think ) how it went together but I do have a couple of questions I was hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out on.
It all seems to be there except the bolt stop screw and the other little screw right beside it that hold the trigger spring in. Does anyone know the size and pitch of these . It appears to be a #6 but am unable to determine the thread. If anyone knows a source that would be appreciated.
Also, this gun does not appear to have the same type of firing pin rebound spring as the later models. Instead it has a small spring loaded horseshoe shaped yoke to perform the purpose. Am I correct in this or have I made a mistake in assembly. This is the only place this part seems to fit.
The gun does seem to lock up snug and so I am hoping to shoot it. It is in cosmetically only fair condition but should shoot OK

Thanks in advance
