Barrels went from having the small integral featherweight, to long integral featherweight, to long integral medium weight, to raised ramp medium all in about a three year period of time. Seems to be a mix of what was used till old inventory was cleared out.


If yours is a 22" featherweight barrel, then I agree with Rick. It's quite possibly a barrel that was profiled for a 99G in 250-3000 and they were put on 99F's. You need to get an early 99G in 250-3000 and see if the barrels match up. grin

99F in 303 at 281,675 with 20" barrel
deerstalker has a 99G in 30-30 at 282,4xx with 20" barrel (I think I got SN right)
99F in 22HP at 284,291 with 20" barrel with short integral sight
99F in 22HP at 285,512 with 20" barrel and short integral sight


I agree with Rick, but will also throw out the possibility that the Style 6 barrel address may have started earlier than noted in Murray's book. My 99F 285394 30-30 and a 99G 300 286587 I have a pic of both have a Style 6 barrel stamp. Any other Style 6s seen between these and the 295k start noted by Murray for Style 6?
