The Model 99 Was a modification of the Model 1902 without a traditional trigger. Rifle was fired by depressing the trigger with the thumb, which was part of the sear, and was located behind bolt. This rifle was manufactured after 1914 because it was chambered for the .22 extra long. The gum wood stained walnut stock was the same as the Model 1902. Was not serial numbered. Built 1904 to 1923 and is often no recognized by most Winchester collectors. All metal surfaces are a grey patina. Barrel and bolt have the "P.W." inspector stamp. The hardwood stock is very good to excellent. Legends are sharp and is stamped "Thumb Trigger Model". Has Winchester composite buttplate. Perfect action and strong rifling. This is just one of those unusual rifles that is rarely seen and has a unique profile as it does not have a trigger or trigger guard.
