1500.00 to 1800.00. Bought a375A six months months ago for 1500.00

I went back and looked, paid 1910.00 drive out for the A I bought in February.

Todays market who knows.

Condition good, with minor wear $1500-1800
Mint - $2K to $2500

Was the 99 only made in 375 in the brush gun?

They made a 99A also, steel butt plate, schnable forearm. I lucked into this rifle, a throw together after they stopped making them according to Calhoun. He said they were using up parts while in bankruptcy, trying to sell anything they could. I don’t believe it had been fired when I got it, nary a mark on it. It is very accurate with 200 grain Sierras. I’m eager to shoot some pigs with it, maybe a pesky Aoudad if one walks up.

Thank you

BOOOOOM
Snausage !

I have two of them and looking to fund another rifle I am contemplating so 99% sure I am going to be listing this one shortly

You probably will not have a hard time selling it

I have one in 358 winchester, most excellent condition. I would like to sell.

I have a couple of 56 F’s in 358, sure do like them!

good lord! you guy's are killing me!

Mr T, hope you got your 99A and member with the centerfold Model, congrats! She's a beauty.

I bought my .375, SN D4355xx, couple of decades ago on the cheap. Barrel bobbed at 16.5", very slight uniform powdering of corrosion. Fortunately, only external. Photos below as with such though not rising to 'pix visible'. New definition of "rust bluing". The heavy forend considerably out of proportion and muzzle blast notable. No collector value for sure but a functional .375 in all respects but for typical 'non-reloader; ammo problems!

At under several hundred bucks from the days of private hand-transfer with sufficient ammo to test fire & worked for me. I do particularly like the straight grip lever style and the modern PSI chambering capabilities! Had the idea of a refurb with full stock forend as wild! Duly filed with my other thousand "conjures". Now, noting the above reference to parts "put togethers" from Bankruptcy era, wondering if mine might be one as conjuring that forend and a less than perfect inletting too. Either side of actual Bankruptcy Petition filing, demoralized workers typically not doing 'best work!'

I value my small number of Models 99 if coming to them late in contemplating "collecting life" beyond Winchester & Marlin levers!

Thanks for the interesting Thread!
Best!

That's a neat little carbine Iskra, it would be just right for a full-length forearm! The woodwork would be easy enough, the metal end-cap might need to be handmade.

...bet it's loud!

I had a pair of 99 375’s but sold one to a Marine down at Cherry Point. I was told the brush gun was the one with the finger grooved forearm and the one with the schnabel forearm was the saddle gun. Am I right or wrong.I kept the saddle gun just felt better
