My newest; 10th Series Nagoya Last Ditch T99

[cwo4uscgret]

Just popped into my local gun supplier's place after physical therapy today. Amazing stuff that walks through the door; I thought I would do the economy a favor and help the retiree who walked in the shop with this Nagoya Series 10 Last Ditch T-99 Arisaka. Other then someone "un-staking" the screws and the mum being defaced, this gun looks like it left the factory last year instead of 65+ years ago. I'll post a few teaser photos; and then a link to the rest of them. I broke down the bolt; the frame, extractor, firing pin, and bolt all match...not a bad deal for a "C" Note...
