Stumbled over this .308 Sav. 99. The photos don't do it justice--the forearm seems to be from another rifle or shot gun and painted brown and held on with common Phillips head screws.
the PO didn't even attempt to shape the recoil pad and WTHeck is up with the compensator?!
sooo tactical. I'm checking on parts prices to see its worth rehabbing.

whoa.. not that bad. sometime ago I saw a bolt shotgun .410 (imbel brand built in a 98 original action -- yes the boneheads at the factory drilled those nice carbines and made ugly unbalanced shotguns though very functional) that had the barrel "reblued" that is bubba took a can of ocean blue paint and brushed it all over the gun. I made an offer to save it but he didn't accept...
Must admit it has a certain rustic charm. From the pics it seems that comp is pretty good work.

Without duct tape or bailing wire I don't think it is from Bubba's custom shop.

Umm what I want to know is how does it shoot?
Just like with a woman, kissing and a pretty face don't last, good cooking does. So how does she cook?
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

simple you don't want the comp - unthread it and put on a thread protector.
Refinish the existing forearm wood - finish fitting the recoil pad and done.

How much do they want for it? I'd look at making a project out of that one, I bet it could be made into a great hunting rifle.

I've think I've seen that work before, noticed it's flow and quality but sir please don't take this wrong, I'm not calling you out or any thing of the sort, but I do believe you are mistaken as to the artist, I am fairly certain that work belongs to bubbas cousin, twice removed on his mothers side, his name is Cletus, his favorite tool for smithin' was always a 9 pound hammer, old English brown paint and a very small flat head screw driver cause it fit all size o them pesky screws.
Think you are right…Looks like it came from Bubbas cousin BillyBobs Gun Werks.

Good morning
I would buy it. A Savage 99 in 308 would ride real nice in the trunk of a car or "behind the seat" and be ready to tackle any condition. As it is it looks odd... But there may have been good reasons some one decided to do all that. The brake ???? But the forearm may have been done up in the "way back somewhere" when a busted forearm was a situation.

After market wood for 99s is available and not too unreasonable. If the muzzle break can decently be removed, you'd have a good shooter. Much better lever gun than any Winchester or Marlin would be on it's best day. I think $300 would be about as high as I would consider, though.
The BUBBA Shops in Our area. use a wide variety of material. to give them there trademark. This varies from shop to shop. most popular small finish nail to repair stocks,. ( after gluing Remove them). Flat head or Philip sheet metal screws. The true trademark of a Bubba. is the un-sanded rubber recoil Pad

I hesitated to open the thread out of fear of what would meet my eye. Actually, that isn't as bad as it could be.
Hate is a poison which one consumes expecting another to die.
I once visited an old bear hunter who used hounds. His "custom" gun was a chopped single shot 12 ga with a bolt hose-clamped to the end of the barrel for a front sight.

Get a new used for end. Masking tape the stock and take the recoil pad to a belt sander and send it off the jes for a 358 win rebore.
