Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I'm tend to focus a little more on Nagoya's than anything else (more variety), but this one came along, I put a low ball bid in, and somehow I got lucky!

Matching Type 99 - Series 34 from the Toyo Kogyo arsenal in Hiroshima prefecture. 682XX serial block, and very representative of its series.

It has the two piece buttstock with the short handguard and seperate forestock - although this is one of the tightest fitting separate forestocks I've ever seen. It has the large recoil bolt and the screws on the trigger guard appear to still be staked.

The mum is intact:

You can see the arsneal / series and other proofs (exact SN edited)

It has the normal welded safety. MRoJ indicates that the grooved safety seen on Nagoya rifles sometimes turns up at random in this series, but I haven't ever seen one.
