I received a model 99 as a gift from my girlfriend who's stepfather passed away.
The story goes that it was brought home from his father in WWII.
Well the gun has been in a closet for quite some time, never being fired.
Everything works and is well kept. I am trying to go through and just get it dis-assembled and cleaned up. However, I cannot get the band off. I can only get the band to go about an inch before the wood stocks don't allow it to go any further.
Any ideas guys?
