I just purchased a Type 99 rifle for 150.00. Chrome lined bore is excellent. Metal has a few rust spots but is in good condition. Stock has some dings but in very good condition. Ground "Mum" but very clear "type 99" markings. Bolt ia a mismatch but has egg shape handle and knurled saftey knob with notch indicator. Bayonet stud is matching. According to web site http://www.radix/~.net/~bbrown/japan...-markings.htm1 the rifle is a Nagoya 3 series with a S/N of 26134. Issues: missing cleaning rod(brass catch under ft stock), rear sight has provision for anti-aircraft leaf but was either removed or not installed, one sight screw missing, Cupped edge buttplate has a large brass screw, band for monopod but missing. Would appreciate your opinon about practicality of restoring to original as issued condition. I would like to at-least find a cleaning rod, sight screw and replace butt screw.
