Arisaka Type 99 Toyo Kogyo Series 35 "Long" questions

[baconslayer]

On Friday, I received in the mail my goodies from Mr Schlickman (fast shipper!!). I have all the repro parts installed, looks great, fit perfectly. Only thing left is to find some springs for the back sight wings. I will keep an eye on the usual sites for something that will work.

J-ROD: Thanks for the suggestion!

If you’re handy, have a set of tin snips, small vice and metal files, you can make springs from hacksaw blades. I can send you pictures that will get you close to final fitting.

PS, Don should start giving me kickbacks…I refer a lot of business to him. Haha. Kidding aside, he’s a huge asset to the Japanese collector community.

I second posting your urushi experiment…I’d love to see what it looks like when done.
