Japanese Type 99 Sniper Rifle.. Manufactured at the Toriimatsu factory of NAGOYA Arsenal.. These rifles were manufactured to use up the remaining stores of 2.5 power scopes.. Note that the scope base has been cut back at the rear to accommodate the smaller mount of the 2.5 power scope... Enjoy BILL

Lovely rifle. Isn't that just the nastiest safety ever though? Maybe the MAS36 is worse, it doesn't have one!!
Keep 'em coming Bill, we love to see them.

Great gun Bill! Was that gun fitted for the dust cover too?
Also could you post a pic of the muzzle cap?

Thanks for the pics Bill. Never seen one except in books. Cap looks awful fragile. Don't imagine too many of those survived the war.

Bill, Is this the one where you had to go into the families house and talk to all the family members before you got it? If it is, you ought to tell the story.
