It had been a while since I threw a few Ben Franklins at a Savage lever gun, so I recently acquired this old guy. Serial# dates to 1924, should be a model 99C with heavy barrel. I didnt have this model in .303 till now. Front sight might not be correct? Here are a few pics: ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/ilikemilitaria/savage%2099c%201924/20161211_151608_zpsandze9jh.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/ilikemilitaria/savage%2099c%201924/20161211_151546_zpsihe18ad4.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/ilikemilitaria/savage%2099c%201924/20161211_151421_zpssngv7ohd.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/ilikemilitaria/savage%2099c%201924/20161211_151431_zpsbt0ss1wf.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/ilikemilitaria/savage%2099c%201924/20161211_151816_zpsbii7yu5t.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/ilikemilitaria/savage%2099c%201924/20161211_151636_zpsgzpqrrtb.jpeg) dave

Don't see many of that model. Both of mine have the 22B front.

Nice piece! The one I had was a tack driver! I put the first Lightfoot mount on it.

Nice scratch. I think the itches from that period have some of the nicest lines.

I've had a number of 1899A SR's and an early 99C or two find their way into my safe, but my 99C's aren't that nice. I'll echo Lightfoot's comment, my d&t gray rat 99C is a tack driver.
