Hi, a friend asked me to sell his Savage 99K for him on Gunbroker. I should mention that I'm a S&W collector so my knowledge of 99's is extremely limited. He brings me the rifle and tells me it's worth $4000. Ok.

In order to list the thing for him on Gunbroker I start looking up the Savage 99K and spot some possible problems. The rifle has a 20" barrel and a serial # 254XXX, neither of which stack up with what I can find on 99K's. It's chambered in 303 Savage. I'll try to post a pic or two as I know that will help. Before I list this I'd really appreciate any input you guys might have on it's authenticity as a 99K. If it's not a 99K then I don't want to describe it as such.

This is not an attempt to sell the gun - it's going on GB regardless. I just want to know that I'm not in danger of misleading anyone.

Many thanks.

Dave
