Type99 Restoration, saved from bubba.& cabelas.
Picked this up @ local tridelphia ,WV cabelas for 139.00, bubba had chopped down the stock ,lost the wings for the aircraft sights, tossed the bolt cover and monopod, and cut down the stock , MUM has barely been touched, minor repair,early kokura model. We are going to attempt to save her from bubbas chopping block and make her into mil-surp again. Took me a few months to squirrel up all the original ww2 era parts for it but i mnaged to get em all, all are 100% ww2 issue parts .

Here are a few after pics . cut down the dust cover or try and find a 6 incher is my only option on this part. This one is 1/6th of an inch longer and covers half the gas relief hole. I have an original sling and scabbard for bayo all parts and bayo are kokura tokyo. early model. Now to ponder the dust cover and take her to the range try her out.

Rather than trim off anything from the front of the dust cover, maybe take a little off the cutout for the bolt. It should bring the dust cover back the amount you want. Takes only a file and a few minutes. Then again, maybe leave it alone.
Fast way to check headspace is to remove innards of bolt, chamber an empty shell of correct size, close bolt and see how much back and forth movement of bolt there is. You can sense when it is really bad.

Checked headspace at cabelas before i left store , i took a dummy round i have loaded for just that purpose .did not think of filing the bolt groove in bolt cover, may work , may sell it and try and find 6 inch one, the early ones take a 6 inch and 6 1/16th inch depends on the series, i of course got the one too long by 6th of an inch or i would be done .
