I find this ^^^^ super interesting. I'm a geek about the 1955-1965 rifles and all the changes.

Not the first 99 to have been reworked to a 284 aftermarket, if it was done aftermarket. Lots of work, but apparently doable.

I'd be interested in knowing of any other standard chamberings that were reworked into .284's that you've knowledge of, other than the 99C's, which is cheating. laugh Only other one I know of is a 30/284 that I have here that was originally a 99E
