Been a long time fan of the 99. Bought my first center fire in 1970,a very lightly used 300 Sav.that was about 20 years old at the time. Foolishly I sold it in the early 90's and have kicked myself many times since. Fortunately I still know where it is and have been working on the guy to sell it back to me. Alas I could not wait any longer so I purchased a nice 99C series A in .308 today. (S.N. C 036153) I have 2 questions: 1: what does the series A signify? and 2: what year was it built? Not as classy as my .300 was, but for now will do.
Also just found and joined this site today so it has been a good day!
