Warning if anybody is looking at this gun.

This 99C fooled me for a moment.

Double diamond buttstock on a 99C.. that's one of the rarest postmil configurations there is! And in 284!

But.. it's not. Buttstock is a replacement. The correct 99C double diamond buttstock should have a steel buttplate, and the forearm would be a different checkering pattern. These side panels aren't flush with the back of the receiver either, the wood is proud to the metal. The forearm matches the standard skip line pattern for the gun's serial number range, and the buttstock is likely a 99F buttstock put on to it.

At best the mismatched stocks would make it a parts gun even if it was original. But pretty sure it isn't.

Dang. grin
