Well a little over a week i picked up a really nice 1899, special order everything !!!!! 28" octagon barrel 303 caliber,Sheard target front sight,rear sight is a Chas. Daniels pat. July 25,05, and a Savage Lyman 2B rear sight. The rifle s/n is 54541 made in 1905 and i believe all sights were original to the rifle.Special fancy grade walnut stocks with pistol grip,thick hard rubber buttplate, and "B" checkered,factory sling eyes and "SLING" !! with pat.Jan. 12 1897 on the sling. The final best part is factory "C" engraving !!!!!! I have to find out if this is a upgraded 1899B or will letter as a "CRESCENT" grade rifle manufactured in 1905!!! heres a few pictures.

Can you imagine how the original owner felt when that showed up? Wow is all I can say! Love that rear sight and long barrel!

That is very neat Loggah. Cool sights! That extra length octagon barrel is a very good look. Just a great 1899.

The rear sight is pretty unique,its so fine a notch that it was probably only really good for target shooting,in low light its hard to see. The only other one i have seen was on a model 94 Winchester rifle also made in 1905. Stroebels sight book dont list them either. confused confused

That Chas. Daniels sight is in nice shape. Once and awhile I notice beat up ones with the top of the ring cut off or something for sale. Nice to see one that's in good shape.
