[Detroit-1]

Wanted to show everyone a Type 99 I found last week at a gun show. It's a 24th series Kokura with a 3 screw front band that is not drilled for a cleanig rod. I just love the chatter marks on the stock.

Nice,

Ground? Matching?

It's matching but ground. Serial # 84054.

Nice rifle! I like the chatter marks on those later stocks, and the front band with no hole drilled in the stock for a cleaning rod is pretty neat too!

Dang, I can't get your photos to enlarge worth a poopie! Looks like a nice rifle.

Sorry about the pictures but my camera is old. Did anyone see the two stock repairs,one on each side by the butt plate, that were made at the factory?

Problem with the pics is the file size. Very small.

I can not see a stock repair but if you mean the seam running from front to back just above the sling swivel, that is normal stock splice to make max use of wood.

I will try to post better pictures but if you look at the splice it is not staight. There is a area that has been repaired by the butt.
