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

This seller's address is near me, I don't know him or the rifle, but just in case anyone needs some sort of eyes-on-the-ball confirmation, I'd be willing to contact him.

You might need to help him reset the date on his camera.

Buying a gun where the pictures are labelled as 2010 is usually a red flag for me. grin

I don't think I've ever seen a 99C with double diamond checkering pattern. So they did make them?

I've seen one that was right, and another that was probably right. Both with very low 99C serial numbers.

I'm guessing there were just a few made at the beginning of 1965 before they went into mass production. Mass production involved the skip line checkering..

in 1966... $134.50..., (sigh) = $1230.00 now,
(,and of course, there's STILL no one making new ones..)

SO, it's over priced!, (even before it's decreased value for no box, scratch & dent use, questionable factory/non-factory butt pad... )

Call him up, make an offer! I can pick it up, check fit and function, then crate it up on hurricane-proof pallet and ship it to You!
