A friend of mine in Western MD gave me a Jap Type 99 (my guess) that has been sporterized or bubbafied but not by him.
So would you just toss this in the corner and forget about it.. or is there some potential here for making it a decent sport gun.
Here’s what I have found so far
1) Stock has been cut way down
2) Barrel has be cut down
3) Front sight is not original
4) Rear sight is half there
5) Butt plate is missing
6) Both swivels for the sling is missing
7) Bore is bright and shiny no pitting
8) Bolt just looks to need a good cleaning and run on the buffer
I would have posted a picture but it makes me sick to look at what someone has done to this.
Thanks guys for your input...This one was free along with a Britsh 303 MK1 that has seen the chop shop as well...The Mum on the 99 has been removed....Once I bring the 303 back I'll take some pics of that as well
