A half of dozen , yea right as there were four main makers . But how would you know . A guy with a junk rifle knows more than one of the main Japaneseicon rifle collectors . I have almost 300 Type 99's and parts piles that say you are wrong . It is clear you can't learn , but there is no reason to make some one else buy the wrong parts . You are just mad because you have to be corrected all the time .
