--- Quote ---Try Brownells. Don't go crazy with the re-do. Could actually decrease the value of the gun. --- End quote --- I was channel surfing the other night and caught Antiques Roadshow as a gun owner came on...hm?? He had a Civil War era Henry Rifle, just a light trace of rust on the barrel, good brass......value was given....58,000$$!! Part of the advice given was not to reblue it. Spotted a Marlin Lever action take down 38-55 half round- half octagon barrel. Heavily scrolled 1 of 50, can't remember the year...the owner was not a gun guy, got it from granddad years before went pale hearing 8,ooo$ |

Couldn't find a new one so had a stock maker make a new stock, the wood don't match perfect with the forearm but the bucks never notice that. --- End quote --- yeah idabooner did you get the work done around the tacomma/south i-5 area? i found a replacement from a broken stock that had been fixed from a stock maker. he guarenteed the fix and aam buying it for 50$bones..... so far dont reblue, have new stock.......anybody know anything about this thing? |

will i need to buy special ammo for this old of a rifle or do i just put any kind of .300 caliber ammo in it? |

Pretty sure the .300 Savage was their own creation. I remember reading that when the 99 came out it would be 50+ years before anyone made ammo near close to it's limits. Had a chance to buy a Model 99 in .308 (had a scope on it :bash: ) Found it in a pawn shop for 300$? kicking my self now.. |

Check on E-bay there were some stock there the other day . If it says 300 savage, thats what you buy most any where. No 303 or 300 magnum . Do not reblue if you want to retain the value. .300 savage will shoot pretty close to .308 winchester . |
