There's 250-3000 ammo still around, but it's not all that common anymore. If you want to shoot it much, learn to handload.
Without a pic, I assume it's the lever-action Model 99. If the barrel comes off like that, it's the much-deprecated "takedown" model, which was not known for accuracy. (Many were "hardened up" by salting the joint until it rusted tight.)
If it's not rusted, and is unmodifed, it's probably worth quite a bit to collectors. Serial # puts it between the wars, I think. Mad Dog will know.
