I'm curious about the date of manufacture of the 99R at the top of the photo. The serial number is 578XXX and the lever boss code is 23B. Also how does one determine if the rifle was an RS that had the peep sight removed when a scope was added? I added a photo of the front sling swivel if that might give a hint. Thanks to the faithful for any info.
