That is a special example Steve. Since it was built as the guys personal rifle, I am thinking you will not find the two digit stamp that Murray talks about in his book..........

One of only a few .30-30 R's made. Nice find and with a history. Hope you had them document it.

that's a unique one Steve, very nice! I don't get the part about it sitting at the dealer for a COUPLE MONTHS though??! I need to get some of that collector kung-fu that lets you track down unique 99's in Massachusetts while living in the midwest, what the heck?

They built 50 rifles for the NY State Police the serial numbers range from 348xxx to 393xxx... were they spread across multiple orders over many years? I have not heard of anyone having a 30-30R in the 393xxx range that they believed was a legit factory built rifle... very interesting.
