700+ octagon 99C’s, so is that rare? Hmm.
My ratio of 375 A’s to Brushguns is similar to yours.
The 99Cs with the leftover 24" octagon barrels in 308 and the 99Fs with 24" barrels in 358 weren't cataloged items, were they?
Of the rifles mentioned, I've only owned 1x 99-375, 1x 99A in 375, 1x 99A in 300, 1x 99DL in 350-3000, and a few of the octagon barrel 99Cs in 308. I had 1 of the octagon 99 Cs rechambered from 308 to 30-284 back when I was going through my 284 based wildcat phase. I don't recall ever seeing a post-1959 99 in 358 with a 24" barrel that wasn't a 99DL, but I've never cared very much for the 358, so I never looked very hard for them unless it was a 99R.
