24", then... 99B it is. :)

I've looked at a LOT of 99 pictures, the only time I see wood like that is on special order rifles and such... most of the pre-war 99's (straight lever...) are quite plain, with no checkering. I've seen pics of a few with wider forearms, but none have the profile of mine.

I would guess the King rear sight is aftermarket. For one thing, the elevation adjustment won't work because it butts into the receiver.

It does need .310" cast bullets... accuracy goes completely out the window with .309"s. I've never shot it with jacketed.
