Learning more about a Nagoya Arsenal 8th series Type 99. 7.7mm Japaneseicon caliber made in late 1944 is interesting as of six days ago I knew zipppppp !

Trying to inspect this (crude) rifle as it soaks up the oil is pealing away years of isolation of being stored on a shelf in a basement of a ranch styled home.

Who knows what adventures it has yet to reveal ??
