Does anyone have any suggestions on repairing a crack on amodel 99 stock. thr crack is about 2" long running from the receiver to the trigger and about1/2" up from the lever base. Is a crack like this repairable or should I be looking for a new stock?

Might be fixable if it ain't to bad but finding a replacement factory stock will be pretty much non-existent depending on the year of the gun.
What serial range or model of 99 are we talking anyways?

Re: Cracked Stock
I have a Voere/Mauser that had a similar crack. It was repaired by a gunsmith in Calgary. He glued and and dowel pinned the crack area the glass bedded the whole action area. The repair is visible but serviceable and shoots better than it did before the crack appeared.

It's a 1953 model EG, I'm guessing you should be able to spread the crack very lightly and then with a needle applicator get some epoxy in there and clamp it shut for the night, should hold.
Ted, I think they're talking about the thread in the hunting arms forum, not an actual forum here.......I friggan wish.

Okay, I didn't think we had a Savage 99 site here. Took a good look around the site after I saw the post, but no........
I'm like you, wish we did have one here.
Best,

You can do it yourself. It's not hard to do once you get the gist of it.
Make sure to use lot's of release agent
& be sure to plug the hole the safety slides in if it's an older model
Well, I make it a point to hit the 99 Thread in Hunting and Sporting Arms on occasion to keep it running. How much does it take to make it an official site then? Obvious there is enough interest. And I check in regularly to get some reading in.
