Hi Folks,

I am new to this forum. I recently acquired a Savage 1899....I am guessing a "c" model as it has a half oct/half round.....it has a shotgun butt plate( it looks like it was supposed to have a crescent but plate and it was replaced with a shotgun and a small piece of wood was used to fill in the section the rolls over the top of the stock)......but a 22" barrel ??? ( also what is the proper way to measure the barrel length ). Not sure if it is a retro fitted mess or was a special order gun... The S/N is 103,85X. It should put the gun in around 1910. Thanks in advance for any help or direction.....
