How many 308 cal Savage 99 C were made in Spain?
Sometime after Savage ended production of the Model 99 they tried to re-introduce it with 99s made in Spain for them. I believe it was in the late 80s. Most parts are not interchangable. The stocks are, with some fitting work on the butt stock and bedding for the barrel contour. I know these were made in .308 but I don't know any other cals. or the number that were produced. There were not many made, as they show up on auction sites only very rarely. I do not believe the designation was "C", as that was the designation for 99s made at Savage with magazines ("C" standing for "Clip"). I think the Spanish ones had a different letter designation. Hopefully, somone else will see this and answer your question as I am also interested in the answer. -lduer

How did people in Spain changed the land?
At first they lived off the land eating indigenous animals and plants, later they learned to plant and grow plants and probably traded with other peoples for other nonnative plant and animal species. Plant cultivation helps produce established non-migratory local civilization, generally where ample supplies of fresh water may be available together with locations exhibiting fertile soils where plant foods may be grown. Peoples will supplement that diet with meat from local wild animals and/or animal species they may successfully manage to domesticate over some number of generations. In the process waterways may be modified in ways that allow consistent supplies of good quality water to more constantly prove readily available. Sucj events all serve to change the land as well as the entire eco-system. People will tend to gather fuel sources such as wood, they may burn wood supplies to provide heat and to cook and warm shelters they build using other objects occurring in the eco-system, possibly stones, wood, mud bricks (either unfired or fired versions). Again all such activity will serve to alter the land, waters, and air. Spain is but one version of mankind altering the environment. View pictures of Spain and specific locations in Spain and you're likely to identify numerous more specific examples of just how people in Spain have changed the land.
