I finally got a T99 (early '43) to fill the type in my collection, as I am mostly into Germanicon and American arms. Serial number 81350 is matched all parts. This rifle has been converted from its original 7.7x58 caliber to the U.S. .30-06 (7.62x63) by reaming the chamber another 5mm. This was done post war commercially in the U.S. (cost $5 in the 1950's). This allowed single shot plinking or hunting with easily obtainable .30-06. Full ‘mum,’ monopod, and anti-aircraft sights. Barrel is excellent and finish is about 95%. Reproduction rubberized canvas sling, not import marked. I have another identical Jap barrel in 7.7, but have not decided if I want to put it back into 7.7 as the stateside conversion was part of this rifle's history.

Sights are dead on with 20 rounds of 70's HXP. I was using the monopod and was allowing the rifle to jump up at the end causing the high hits.
