Could there have been a very short fore end cap at one time? The square nose on the fore end seems very odd for a classic stock maker!
What parts do you need? Just the Winchester scope blocks and the Lyman 48?
I don't remember if you photographed the little Hoffman, Cleveland marked 44 1/2 .22 that I have. I think it also has a rather strange fore end.

Don't think that Lyman made 48 for Savage 99 .... certainly not in last 50-60 years.

Terry & Mark, The forend is just like in the one in the picture and no evidence that anything was modified. Not only odd but ugly as well. I have the proper blocks and a Lyman 48 base that looks like it will need to be milled flat on the side to fit. I think your right Mark I can't find any early Lyman 48's from 1925 that have a flat side.
The through bolt and the top tang are now straightened time to pull up the wood and see what's next. Back to work!
Terry I remember one with I thought was a Rodgers stock is that the one?

Day three report: Milled off a Lyman 48 base for a 1903 to fit the Hoffman and opened up the radius where it's not touching and beveled the corner at the breech end. Looks like it was always on there ;-). Needs more polish then into to "Blue" pile with the lever which I just finished. I had a spare base but could use a "125" slide,would buy the whole sight if need be.

OLD GUNSIGHTS show's no Lyman 48's for the Savage 99, only the various tang sights and the 57's, one for the tang and the other for rear scope holes when the tang safety was introduced.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Day four worked on the stock, I've gone about a far as I can and I'm not please with the progress. If the person had straightened the bolt and tang before gluing the wood back would have made a big difference. The tang area will have to be bedded, when did they stop making "Microbed"?
Spent today rust bluing the lever and remodeled Lyman-48 sight base.
I may stop after I bed the tang and see how it shoots (warm weather) before I do anything else. Maybe some pictures in a day or two.

Stopped making MicroBed about 2-3 years ago.
