Need some help in identifying the type of Japanese weapon this was. LMG 99?
The parts,along with other sovenirs, were purchased over ten years ago from the family of a deceased USMC Veteran.
The barrel, and stock had at one time been stuck together by the Vet with a wood rod and hose clamps for display.
Don't know if there are any missing parts or not.With the obvious exception of no receiver of some sort. The barrel might be clear, while the gas tube? under it appears to have been welded. With the large 188 on the butt, could this have been a dummy training piece?
Hopefully this could be some help for reference purposes.
Didn't know which forum to place this in, so if this needs be moved to a better forum that would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
