Thank y'all for this forum! I'm a regular at the Rossi Rifleman board, and I'm hoping this one is as friendly and knowledgeable. My first rifle was a Model 24, and I'm about to take possession of a Model 99 from my old home state of Michigan. I've always had a hankering for one, and this one presented itself cheap. I did a lot of hunting and shooting as a kid, but had a long dry spell until about five years ago. A friend got me into competitive pistol shooting and then pig hunting, and I moved to a place that happened to have a convenient outdoor range. This 99 is going to be a bit of a project, and this looks like the place to share pictures and ask for sage advice. Please bear with me as I learn my way around the board.
