Nice, too bad about the stock, not the first I've seen broken like that.

The stock isn't broken it's splitting and seperating from drying out over the years, it could be repaired but I'm going to leave it for now.

Vet bring back Type 99
I would not change anything either. Possibly bullet strike was from Sgt. Davis? Looks like strike came from right to left.

If it were mine I would put it in a good stock and save the old one along side. Just my opinion but I don't like to handle a splintered stock. riceone

Very nice piece of history!

I wouldn't change a single thing either and leave it as is. With all the matching parts etc, it looks like it's never been messed with at all. It's living history. Upgrade or repair would deter.

I would not alter the rifle at all. It speaks volomns of WWII history. Equipment, men, from both sides suffered greatly. This rifle appears to have been to war!! If you want an undamaged shooter then by all means begin your search. This rifle is an artifact from one of historys most brutal conflicts. Let it go at that!! My two cents!!
