Title: Savage Model 99 Stock Repair
Post by: salish on January 18, 2021, 10:33:49 AM: Good morning,

I have an old Savage Model 99 that has a cracked stock. Does anyone know of a stock repair person in Washington state who might be able to repair it, or else install a new/old stock?

Thank you,
Cliff

I have been watching ebay, seeing plenty of forearms but few buttstocks. And I would rather repair this stock so that my wood will match. Thanks for the help.
