Crikey 70 years after the war the Type 99 is still trying to eliminate people! (Hope your gunny is better)
He may think twice about working again on one of those rifles......!

He seemed fine. I was watching him and had a good wrench but the vise not so much. Couldn't get it tight enough on the wood blocks and kept spinning. He got flustered after about 15 minutes and said something about "being watched" so I walked outside and left him go. I've done business with him before and we just talked, not even about guns so much. Even after the hour and a half he still seemed OK. Did mention his stomach didn't feel well.

Outstanding results. We can't save the all. But like Aragorn I feel obligated to save those that find me and can be saved. Aragorn has inspired my own project though I think mine might be quite a bit less involved.

I found a nose cap on ebay this evening, buy it now which was nice so on the way. Also ordered a sling, cleaning rod and the two missing screws so should be complete minus the expensive stuff next week.

I would be happy to own a rebuild like that, not too pretty and the cost was certainly reasonable.

Everything but the cleaning rod arrived yesterday. Screws from Numrich would appear to be reproductions as they look brand new. Nose cap as suggested, did not fit, took about 20 minutes of hand sanding/polishing to get it to fit. Sling looks like every other repro sling, completely out of place, but I have to have a sling on my rifles. Maybe I'll go drag it through the mud a bit or something. I took a little time on Sunday to get all the surface rust off parts. Ended up using the original butt plate and screws rather than what came with the stock as it was in a little better shape. Once the cleaning rod comes, I'll take some more photos. That anti-aircraft sight is really nagging at me now. They went from about $20 three years ago to $60 today. In three more years they will probably be $90 so it's not like it would be a bad investment.
