Can't get more than three digits from the first seller.

C gun is a 99A 243, and the E gun is a 99C in 308.

Finally, can someone tell me the low and high numbers, or close to it, for 1977? I have a nephew born in 1977. In a weird family tradition, we all get a rifle made the year we were born on our 40th birthday, and I'd like to find a M99 made in 1977. I am thinking the above 243 might fall in that range, but only have guesses. I have about a year to go, so I'm not desperate yet. (You should have seen how hard it was to get my dad's 1932-made rifle...finally found a Win M54 made that year...but it took two years to find it.)

Thanks for the help!


C210xxx == summer of 1976
E7799xx == spring of 1987

For 1977 look for something in the C4x-C5x range, bit high or low of that works as well.
