[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1946969, member: 24284"] It is easy to see if there is set-back on a Sav 99 as the the locking abutment is where the rear of the bolt meets the receiver when the bolt is closed. Just open the action and that area is exposed for inspection. I have seen several 99s with set-back because of hot rod reloads. The .38-55 uses the same head space gauges as the .30/30. A "FIELD" gauge would be cheap insurance, as I'd say a Sav 99 TD chambered in .38-55 has some 'collector' value. [/QUOTE]
