BT99 is a shotgun. To be more precise a single barrel Trap gun.

There should be at least one letter in the serial number, I believe they were first manufactured in 1969, and until around 1976, had the letter "D" after the first 4 digits.

They are still bing made to this day.

Really?, The 1969-1976 dates were the years that the single letter was used in the serial number. I don't believe the intent of that post was to have anyone think that was the end of the line for the BT.
But thanks for sharing your wealth of information, I was wondering how I could explain the 4 BT-99's I have that were built in the 1980's.

Sorry... Guess I misunderstood your post.
