I'm done, at least until I find some in the odd calibers. Would love one in 358/

Yep! My good friend lives in Gambrels and we were up there for the Waterfowl Festival.

Looks like a rifle weight barrel, so 99D? That's not an easy one to find!

Very nice! It would work well for the kind of Elk hunting I do. Been wanting one in 300 for awhile now. Never really thought about a take down, a little hard case would be rather handy. Congratulations!

The rifle weight barrel is noticeably heavier than the later medium weight barrel and has a dovetail cut directly into the barrel for the front sight. A rifle weight barrel 99 made as late as 1928 would be very rare. The medium weight barrel of that era should have a ramp integral to the barrel with a dovetail for the front sight. If it has the medium weight barrel it would be a 99F. The 99D's didn't have medium weight barrels and were discontinued about 1926. The only difference between the early 99D (rifle weight barrels) and 99F (lightweight barrels) were the barrels. When all 99's went to the medium weight barrels about 1926/28 there wouldn't have been any difference between the two models. David

Thanks, David. The barrel looked too heavy to me for a 99F, but I don't think I've held a 99F in 300 so it very well could be.

If I helped talk you into this one, you owe me a nice single malt! You got the bargain of the Century. Looks to be in great shape! These 99's are addictive, especially the ultra cool factor of the TD's. I'm going to rehab one of mine for a gift for soon to be son in law. Called Wenig about stock prices earlier today. Your new rifle has inspired me!
