I think you must mean Minnewanka . Abraham Lake is famous for the methane bubbles in the ice, people come from all over to gaze at them, I was disappointed.

First time in Alberta, and the views are absolutely mind blowing.
I’ve also met so many down-to-earth, genuinely great people with a refreshingly no-BS attitude.
You should try it in the summer. It's much nicer.

I didn't know you posted here, nor did I take credit for the information or pics. I told them where it came from, and it's up to them to look for more info.
Thanx for letting folks know who did post the info, and maybe, you could elaborate much further.

Here's a link to the original post. https://www.milsurps.com/threads/a-different-303.76763/ I made that soon after I got the rifle. Being left-handed I hunt with a Savage 99, usually in 300 Savage, so the 1899D having at least a tenuous connection to British and Commonwealth military rifles was one I was interested in. This was a retirement present to myself. Most of the information came from David Royal's book Savage 99. The only other book on the rifles I know of is The Ninety-Nine by D.P. Murray. Royal's book is the newer and more complete of the two.
I can't really add beyond what's in the original post. Mine needed a new firing pin which I found at Old Arms of Idaho. They were very good to deal with and a good source of parts for antique and unusual guns.
Bearhunter, I'm glad you found the post interesting. It is one of the more unusual quasi-military gins out there. It shoots just like any 99, slightly heavier because of the wood work, but pretty much the same. I'm still looking for a bayonet if anyone has one laying around.
