Thanks for allowing me to join the group!
I just picked up a Savage model 1899 (Stamped on the top of the barrel)
It is a 30-30, with a 20" round barrel. The serial # is 2776**. (I place it, as made in 1925)
It does not have a saddle ring, or holes for one. It does not have a barrel band.
It has the Brass Round Counter on the side.
The front sight is; white metal blade in a dove tail.
The rear sight is; a flat top sporting. (missing the elevator, & I would love to have one)
The stock is Plain Straight (not Schnabel), & the butt is Steel Carbine.
It has the smooth grip (not the pistol grip), It does not have any checkering.
The gun is in good condition, with 90% blue remaining, no rust or pitting, function is smooth, stock has a fine 1" long crack on top at the front, with normal handling marks on the wood.
The bore is clean, with good spiral.

Thanks for your help

Welcome to The Firearms Forum woodstock. In order to get a good valuation for your rifle please read the following which I copied and pasted from one of the stickies above.

Please describe the item in as much detail as possible.

Detail does not mean "in good shape" ,describe how the wood is, how much blueing (% of original finish left) there is etc., and anything else you see that may be helpful.

Tell us all marking, words, and letters anywhere on the gun.

PICTURES are required. Clear, sharp pictures....full length, both left and right sides, as well as closeups of any unusual features, engraving, etc.

Here's How: http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/showthread.php?t=19430

Example:

If you have an old gun and the markings on it are E over LG then the gun was made in Belgium.

You may try doing a SEARCH and find your gun value. If not, START A NEW THREAD instead of bringing up an old post that has already been answered. THE OLD POST MAY BE IGNORED..

Our entire range of staff, are more than happy to assist you, as well as many of our membership in general, in order to try and answer your questions.

This forum is for firearms values only. Anything else will be deleted.

All members are invited to participate but no guessing. We prefer you use the Standard Catalog of Firearms. It's much closer to real value than Blue Book. Blue Book is better for trade values.

Just remember, we are trying to help YOU. The more info you give us, the more accurate the value will be. And don't forget a couple of PICTURES.

Our experts work hard to give you an accurate value on your firearm so give them the info they need.

Also, we are not an air rifle forum. These posts will be deleted.

No offers to buy or sell in this forum. We have a Buy/Sell/Trade Forum for that.

Any attempt to buy or sell on this forum will result in your suspension from TFF.

If your post is removed it's because the guidelines were not followed.
