Hello all. Just joined here. Recently acquired a Type 99. It is my first milsurp rifle. I'll get some pictures up in the coming days, but I'll share what I know. And ask questions about what I don't.

I am thinking I want to restore this rifle to as much original as possible.

Based on my research, I have a Series 7 Nagoya arsenal produced rifle. Serial # 90xxx should put it mid '44?

It has full, non defaced mum and numbers match.

It has a bubba sporter stock. That is what I want to correct. However, I want to find the correct stock and metal.

I have seen pictures of some variations even within a series and examples of early vs late war models. I have also seen variations where it appears that later series have features of earlier series.

Mine has a thin metal butt plate. It had a single screw sling swivel. It has the earlier rear sight without the AA wings. It is hard to tell if they were broke off, removed, or never came with. It has the front sight with the "guards".

Hoping to find some information here.
