    Yes there's curds, but this is a gun thread!! B)

    Lousy picture of the 99, it's pretty nice!

    So far I’m ok.  I’ve got that 99, I have a great 94 and while I desperately need a .35 REM 336 I’m ok with that one passing on by because I’d prefer a pre-lock.  No plans to ambush you on the way south…………………….. yet…

    It’s a °IIIII° thing 😎

    Nice finds all around. I've given 2 336's in 35 Rem away to nieces, they are just wonderful rifles.

    Good looker.

    Congrats!

    That 99 is, (Along with the Remington 8) my guilty pleasure. Don't know why they're so attractive to me despite not having the features I like most in a lever gun (Straight stock, "Far West" looks and exposed hammer) and at least down here, being SO difficult to find in a commercially available caliber that allows shooting them with ease. Good friend of mine has one in .22 Savage (Or was it .25?) and scrounging components is able to fire it a little once a year.

    I .22 Savage HP is tough to find components anymore since it uses a .228 bullet. I still have a 99 in .250-3000 on my list.
    My other four takedowns are are straight grip. B)

    My pal scrounged a casting mould for his, but can't recall if it uses gas checks or not. It´s a .22 HP indeed and he loads them barely below the speed where lead begins to stuck into the rifling after a few shots. I tested it a couple of times maybe 3-4 rounds each and at 200 yards it was pretty accurate even with open sights.
    As long as I recall hardest component to find was brass, then primers (Although he takes apart another centerfire cartridges to recover primers and the proper powder).

    Some years ago I took apart a neighbor's 99 that appeared to have been stored in so-so condition for many, many years. Action stuck with lots of funky old grease inside, rust and gunk everywhere, but after a couple of hours of taking it apart, cleaning & lubing it was working fine again, looking decent and showing a mint bore.
    Offered him a couple of hundreds but according to him it was a family heilroom so he refused to sell. It even had the the ammo counter dial and had the old local importer ("Casa Rébora") nicely engraved in the receiver.
