Well took a look at the 99 and the two shotguns today.

The 99 was not in 90% condition as far as I am concerned I would put it in 70% area. There was quite a bit of rust on the lever, the barrel and in the action but the only pitting I saw was on the under side of the barrel and it looked pretty minor, bluing was very minimal. The stock and forend where very dirty and scratched but no major cracks that I could see. According to the serial number the gun dates to around 1918-1920.

Other things to note is it did have a Lyman No. 1A sight on it and the bore looked dirty but I think could be cleaned up pretty well.

Still not sure if I am going to pick it up or not.

Opinions?

Thanks,
