Wow a $1000 T-99 4th series, with a carefully worded description "matching dust cover" but the bolt isn't matching, and not even on a grey blanket.

I have one as nice if not better. Doesn't have a dust cover but it's all matching including the bolt.

Well, the purchaser can't complain; the picture of the bolt number is clear as a bell, mismatched.

I guess we now know how much one guy thought a mum was worth, maybe $750!

Cripes. $1,000 for a mismatched gun? Moreover, the stock may be a little too shiny -- like maybe polyurethane shiny. That's a very straight pod too. Hope it isn't a repro. Can't quite make out the factory symbol on the dustcover. Kind of looks like "tz" to me.

My 4th series is mucho better than that one. Totally matching & with it's original sling
I wonder what it would bring at auction?

$355, if your luck is as good as mine!

I cant see any marks on the stock where the pod rests? repro or added post war?

That's no Alabama rust bucket you got there. That would be hard to improve on!

I have one with a matching rod... $1250 sounds good to me

If it has a full mum, I'll take it! The broken stock doesn't matter

yes I am, what makes you say that????

That's about as straight as a rifle as you will ever find. A-dog is not a repro part installer. Some of these rifles that were taken home saw very little if any combat action. If you look at his picture you can see a very faint outline of the monopod foot in the stock. It looks llike a shadow. It's the real deal!!!! And it tip top condition.

I didn't know he was referring to my rifle. I bought this one from Shin Nimura about a dozen years ago. Anyone who knows him can vouch for the stuff he picks up. I don't know how or where he finds them. Anyway, I was very pleased to get this one from him and it's one of the finest and most complete T-99s I've ever seen. All matching, correct & with staked screws. And, the pod is "ri" marked.

It might have been nice if he'd have explained it to you instead on insulting you.

 

[sssniper]

Nice rifle, clean as they get, with mum. But after all said and done, still a mismatch bolt !! Skid

 

[Franchi]

"clean as they get" Not that nice, thinning blue and polished stock.

I didn't insult him. He left himself wide open. Now it's been explained.

I should have made it clear which rifle I was refering to, it was not A Dogs. Insulted no I have been called alot worse but an explanation would have been helpful. I thought I must have missed somthing obvious like a series 4 never had a pod but A Dogs rifle had one as well so i was a bit confused with your reply.:?

Not to worry. It was pretty clear to just about everyone you were referring to the GunBroker T99.
