Low Buck De-Sporterized Type 99 Rifles

[burb1989]

Those are some good looking rifles! Salt Flat I have the reverse problem to you. Almost all of the arisakas that show up here are mid-late war examples but very few early ones that are in good shape. I'm glad someone's restoring the old sporters but my preference is buying a full military stocked one. Luckily the only mismatched rifle I had I ended up finding the bolt from a friend so I have now three all matching pieces and only one mum.

Whoa!! What's the story with that?

Not as hard as you think. You only have to match three numbers and the manufacturer. One out of every 999 bolts will match your rifle in any manufacturer and if you ignore that mark, it's one out of every 999 period.
