I have a Savage 99 EG in 300 Savage that the previous owner swapped out the original stock (cracked) for a stock with a curved butt with a steel plate. Are there any replacement stocks for this in Canada? I've seen some on the net from the USA. If I put the original stock back on how would I repair it - type of glue etc. Would it hold together on a hunting trip? Thanks.

Pics of the old stock would help with repair ideas.
Maddog is our resident 99 expert, and I'm sure will appear shortly. He will have the scoop.
Me, I know that Brownells (US) lists a 99 stock, I think it's birch though.

A quick search on their site, lists three stock choices, some walnut.

Brownells are excellent to deal with, US and Canadian customs can be a pain.
I have not brought a stock in for some time, perhaps others here will share more recent experiences.

X2 on the Acra-Glas. With the right tint, the crack can be made to almost look like part of the grain.

Their website http://www.westerngunparts.com/ sucks, but they have always been good to deal with, and respond to emails fairly promptly.
Don't know why I didn't think of them they have all kinds of stuff, send them an email, or just phone.

You could probably auction the old 1899 stock with the curved buttplate off and make enough money to buy yourself a new butt with what the U.S. guys are paying for parts these days, makes me shake my head.
