I'm new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any help given. I purchased a Savage lever action 30-30 at a garage sale about 20 years ago. I put it in the closet and there it has been. The butt stock was missing at time of purchase. The serial number is 26.968, it has a 26" full octogon barrell. The left side of the receiver has a round hole with a shell counter, the top of the bolt has a rectangular shape that you can see if the firing pin is cocked. The tang is 3 and 1/8 inches. The schnable forearm has a screw 7 and 1/8 inches from the receiver.

When I put the serial number into the savage web sight it says it's an 1895 model. The barrel has 2 1893 dates and 1899. I'm really confused, can someone help me out. I want to order new wood, but have to make sure I order the right stuff. Also any recommendation on where to get a good stock. Thanks for the help.
