Where are you guys at that a sanded , mis- matched rifle missing all of it's parts is a steal at $ 450.00 ? The reason the stock looks sanded is the color is wrong , the grooves are very rounded , there is finish on the recoil lug and the finish is wrong . Type 99 rifles are not randomly found in different shades of color . The different color is found by maker and year .

I’m viewing on a phone so I don’t see rounded grooves but I do believe the color is off. Maybe lightly sanded...at least the urushi finish as been stripped with a solvent in a previous attempt to “clean it up”. Early Nagoya rifles had a deep color to them, shown in my earlier pictures. It wasn’t until series 5 or 6 when they switched to the lower quality Japanese urushi finish.
