New Type 99 - Worth Fixing Up?

[Patrick Chadwick]

While the flash obscures it a bit I do believe I am reading it correctly.

Agreed. It is series 32.

There seems to be some conflicting info on if it should have a complete AA sight but I can't imagine someone would just add one onto a hunting rifle like this after the fact and not try to put a new stock on it.

Your argument is convincing, and Military Rifles of Japan confirms on P114 that this series had the AA sight wings.

As for books pretty I'm sure I'm going to order Military Rifles of Japan first unless Japanese Rifles of World War II happens to have more pictures of the series 32 to study.

Agreed. "Military Rifles of Japan" has configuration details on each series.
