I know, read all the run don't walk away from this rifle. Maybe it was the gold letters on the barrel (factory?). I ran a clip through it and everything seems ok..
No tang crack, really nice wood, fancy grip cap, ugly red recoil pad, blued lever, looks just like one in Royal's book so must be factory. Anyway it cost less than an ordinary E model. The serial is L0013xx, so kind of in the middle of the run. Also has ordinary pressed checkering. It's missing the rear sight and I am looking to replace it. Ebay has the three parts to the Williams Guide Open Sight (WGOS) but I can't find a complete sight made just for the 99C. The base comes in three sizes, small, medium, and large. I miked the barrel at the sight and it looks like I need the large base. Any help would be appreciated. [Linked Image]
