Apparently by 95750 the 7th was in full Substitute mode. Mine has the fixed rear sight, "G" type, short handguard, pinned front band, large diameter crossbolt and cast cylindrical bolt handle. The stock does not have a seperate forestock but the finger grooves have been deleted. It also has a sewn on late canvas sling with a tape wrapping around the sewn part. One of the receiver screws is still staked, fortunately, so it has not been apart. Seems that lot of changes took place in the 7th series.
Is there any evidence of what Arsenal started producing the Substitute T-99 first? Ronin and 03's book says it is believed that Kokura may have developed it, but did Nagoya start the production? With the numbers made there it seems as though maybe they could have.
