Thanks, David.. had a brain fart. Too much shoveling/snow cleaning apparently

99C - 99E, and 99D - 99F differed on sights as well as barrel weight. 99C/99D had dovetail sights with front blades, 99E/99F had the integral sight bases. They could have continued the 99C/99D with dovetail sights like they did with the 99H, but nobody had been buying them anyway. With the low 99E sales, probably the only reason they continued carrying the 99E into the 30's is because there was no hardware that was different than on other models. 99F buttstock and 99A forearm and you have a 99E.
