Spare parts kit

Post by Muddly »

My 99 EG 30-30 has become my favorite breechloader. As I've stated before, her lack of use since leaving Utica in 1937 ( or 38) is remarkable. I'm pretty much a 1 gun hunter now, and am thinking a spare parts kit would be prudent. Parts will never get cheaper or more available. Don't recall reading that the Model 99 was hard on anything but buttstocks, so what would you seasoned M99 shooters recommend and where's the best place to look( Gun Parts Corp is a given).
Thanks in advance!

Numrich is another place to look.

Numrich IS Gun Parts Corp. :)


I tend to try to accumulate a spare firing pin, extractor, and small springs and screws that could be damaged or lost.

On one gun I put the spare firing pin in a hole in the butt stock. I plan to do that with my favorite 94 also. On a bolt action, I zeroed the Lyman receiver sight, then took the slide off and inletted a spot under the butt plate in case I fell and damaged the scope when out in the mountains.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?

In decades of owning and shooting Savage 99's I've never had one break anything. I wouldn't bother with spare parts myself.
