Good Afternoon!
I am initiating a 2nd topic concerning the same Savage 99 I had questions about.
I currently have the rifle apart to thoroughly clean it and noticed the carrier assembly has a split or notch carrier body in which the carrier spring tail is retained. I was informed that the spring tail typically fits in a small retaining hole at the end of the carrier body. Interested to see if anyone has seen this before. Please see photos.
