I am not sure what year it is. I believe I have identified it in my Blue Book of Gun Values as what they call "recent production" but I do not know how recent. The serial number on the side of the receiver says D870400. It is not a takedown and has a detachable magazine.
This is my first 99 and in spite of the chamber problem it has become one of my favorites and I would like to hunt with it.
Thanks for your help.
Jim
