Yes, it's a Type 99 short Shibata training rifle. These were constructed on surplus or reject Japanese Type 99 service rifle stocks. Can you send me a PM with the serial number that appears oin the top wrist tang? I can't quite make the number out. Youts looks to have painted markings indicating it once belonged to a middle school. I once owned serial number 655 which was marked "四中47."
Nice acquisition!
