I like to find old 99's in need of rescue.



.243 99A. Apparently the victim of someone in a steroid fueled rage who didn't know that the safety locked the lever. It took me a couple weeks of tinkering but I finally got the safety slide bent back into proper shape.



.300 99EG. Project gun. Apparently the victim of multiple side mount scope experiments gone wrong. It had 9 (yes, nine) extra holes in the reveiver, plus a couple of hesitaiton marks. Brazed the holes shut, shortened the barrel to 20.5”, crowned the muzzle, installed a banded front sight and custom no-drill scope mount. Finished with Duracoat matte black.



.303 1899A. This one is all original. I like to take it to the range every now and again and drive the mega-magnum/AR/AK crowd crazy by shooting better groups at 100yds.
