Since I've acquired my 99s I've seen at least three different stocks, one of them plain, one, like mine with minimal checkering/stippling, and one with more. How many are there?

A few..i can think of at least 5. Let's not forget they first appeared around 1994 so there have been some changes. Mach 1.5
According to the serial numbers, mine was manufactured in 2018.

ive seen a few different ones over the years
Ones I can think of...
1. Plain stock
2. 'Sad face' pattern on forward grip panels.
3. Stippled and chequered panels.
4. Minelli made stock with cutaway rear underside.
5. 'AR'? made stock as above.
Yours sounds identical to mine I got Weihrauch to confirm the Date of Manufacture direct as the online database can be a little out sometimes.

They usually reply in about 3-5 days after the first initial automatic reply.
Mine came back as below
Weihrauch HW99S 2276192 = 2018 Model Year
They must be fed up with my email requests, I bet I’ve done about fifty DOM emails over the years
My serial number is, 2297956.
No-one seems to know the origin of the AR (and even that's open to debate) marked stocks...
As mentioned above there’s been quite a few stocks fitted to the 99s over the years.
The really early ones had the forestock cut off like Weihrauchs of old showing the breech block then they went to the full length breech covered version in plain then the chequering then logo and chequering versions then the swirly type chequering and logos then the version with the rear bench bag type cutout plus over the last few years there’s been different versions of the same stock eg the two letters version and the Minnelli version etc.
They also used to have stamped breech blocks like many other Weihrauchs but succumbed to the more modern white laser etching like many other Weihrauchs.
