Near mint Toyo Kogyo T99 with a twist

[majspud]

Got the Arisaka back from the Gunsmith. Now to find a box of 7.7 to try it out.

Well that looks great. Now you can sell the 30 cal barrel to one of these guys and buy a hay bale to feed that 4 foot long rabbit...

Bun-San (yes, that's his name) is not quite that long, but for a 'mini'-lop he does weigh 7.5 pounds. Supposed to be son's rabbit, but guess who takes care of him and plays with him...

He's up in my office most every night...I think we spend too much time together...

I had a cat like that. She came with someone else, and decided I was her mate...Oh well...

Morning pics. Now I need a bayonet, dust cover, and muzzle cover to complete it.

Bayonets can be had, good ones can be found too. Are you also going to see if you can capture an action cover? The sheet steel cover that slides with the bolt? Bayonets are here... https://www.joesalter.com/listings.p...II%20Militaria Simpson Ltd http://www.militaryantiquesmuseum.co...ayonets/Knives

That's what I meant by 'dust cover' as its called. I have a bayonet and dust cover for $100 with another board member possible...

What a gorgeous rifle!

[browningautorifle]

Yup, looks about perfect now.

Be careful with the dust cover. They were individually fitted to each rifle and will cause bluing wear to the rifle if not fitted properly. I restored a Type 99 not to long ago (well almost completely just missing the original monopod) but since the mum was already ground and it was all mismatched anyways I didn't care too much about having the dust cover fitted properly.
