Looked at a "type 30" rifle today as I was interested in buying it for parts. Just something peculiar about it. First they filed off the end of the hook safety for who knows what reason. Then I notice the rear sight, it's a fixed peep sight. I look at the end of the barrel where it is exposed and it's rough. I'm pondering this but not giving it much thought at the time, figured I'd investigate when I got home. I believe it to be a Type 99 late war Nagoya barrel on a Type 30 action. Now I have to investigate the stock and action better as the stock is one of the things I need off this.

Anyone ever hear of someone doing this before? They are selling it as a 6.5 Type 30, who knows if anyone else will notice this.
