But another prototype 284 is out there somewhere with an RD serial.

There were 3 RD prefix 99s in the rack, a 22-250 99C, a 284 99DL, and a 375 99A. I bought the 22-250, SN RD1041, held onto it for a few years and sold it to fund some since forgotten project.



What I would LOVE to know about the .284 RD gun is whether or not it had the snap ring rotor retention or the cross screw, or both.
