I've never owned a 99 but I believe I'd have to disagree with Scale Military sayin' it's not collectible. Firearms are like knives, they're all collectible, some are just worth more than others.

If they don't know, they'll find out. Good group of folks too, mostly. Here are two of the ones that I take care of. I usually take the R out opening day, chambered in 300 Savage. Lovely rifles, both of these are pre-war guns. I think these have been posted before.

Thanks Steve. I remember reading that the 300 Savage was the parent cartridge of the 308. Am I remembering that right?

Like I said, I’ve never owned or shot one, but I’ve never heard or read a negative thing about it.

I’m pretty fond of Marlin 39’s too.

If any of its true they both were an attempt to be a 30-06 in a shorter case with a 150 grain bullet.

Eveled, those 39's are a great 22 lever gun. I like the second one from the top.

GD that's a nice of 99EG with experience. You still have that old Colt 32 that you posted at the beginning of this thread? What a cool old shooter that is.

All this rifle stuff distracted me from posting these two pics of a Model 19 that I'm proud to say i take care. Gun show find for cheap, not original S & W bluing on it. One side was nice, the other side looked like a camo job was done on it from laying on a forest floor for a bit. Nice shooter with 38 wadcutters in it.

Per Frank Barnes book "Cartridges of the World" the 7.62 NATO was a shortened 30-06 case by reducing the case from 63mm to 51mm. So clearly one military cartridge was made from its predecessor. When you say that one cartridge is the "parent" of another, that is a term that wildcatters and case reformers use to say you can make cases of one cartridge into another. You can make 308 brass from 30-06 cases, but you cannot make 308 brass from 300 Savage cases because they are too short.

What version is the one in the middle, Golden , 2nd Amendment , Century Limited , ? ? Puts me in mind of my Century Limited , but it's been quite some time since I've had my Century Limited out......

I like all lever actions. The Henry youth model is a fun little gun, (I added the big loop) But the 39’s are my favorites for sure.
