Savage 99 full wood?????

Muskets were all 303s.
There was a guy yrs ago converting 99s into custom type guns.
He used to go to a few gun shows.
I remember he had a number of 99s he had added full wood to.
All his guns were in as new condition thou as in re-blued, etc.
The "well worn" part confuses me thou, unless he used a cheap cold blueing that has worn off already?
What ever it is it's not original thou.

Does the rifle look factory or custom? Does the metal work have any embelishments that would otherwise cause it to stand out? If you get it post pics!

MadDog, I was just looking in the Blue Book and saw reference to a Model 1899-D Military Rifle (Musket) which came in .30/30 and .303 Savage and sported a round 28" or a 30" barrel, a bayonet lug, and two barrel bands. The reference to the two barrel bands made me wonder if this was a full length version, you might even have one.

No, Savage never made a musket in 250 Savage. I know what your talking about but I don't think this is the case with this gun.
I've seen a couple 99's where custom stocks were added to make them full wood but never a factory option. I remember one 99 had a real nice tiger stripe Mannlicher stock.

I believe I saw that one makeing the tour of gun shows about 10yrs? or so ago.
It was a beautiful gun.
Some-one did a beautiful job on that stock but I, personally, feel the forestock looks way out of proportaion to the rest of the gun!
