I picked up a couple of 1899A's one in .303 and one in 30-30 and thought I would share a few pictures.

The 30-30 in the red stained varnish is a looker. Congrats on the rifles!

Elegant is the only way to describe those early 1899's. They just feel right when you shoulder them.

Thanks for the replies. The early ones are my favorites.

Dallased, those 2 1895’s you scored are amazing.

I feel really lucky........

I have 3 1899's:

round barrel - A

octagon barrel - B

half round, half octagon - C (only one I've ever seen)

All 3 are unmolested & in nice shape, but can't prove it, cause I can't do pics

Now I gotta sell a couple military surplus to put the money back that I spent. Well worth it though. I will need plastic surgery to get the smile off my face when I shoot them.
