I've known that a Japanese rifle has been a glaring hole in my collection for a while now. So, last week I decided to make a move. I won this "substitute standard" Type 99 on Gunbroker last Thursday and big brown delivered it today. It's a 25th series from Kokura. For being what it is, it's in great shape. It's all matching, the bore is nice and bright, and the stock hasn't been sanded or refinished. The sling is I don't know what. I've been told it's a USGI belt modified into a sling so that's what I'm going with, but it could be a piece of some other web gear. It doesn't look like any Japanese slings that I've looked up. This one might have actually been used. There's wear on the barrel where a bayonet was attached and there is wear on the follower. The mum is ground but that doesn't bother me. Now I need ammo and a bayonet.
