That is quite likely it was a deactivated dewat. I did not think being how rare Type 99 supposed to be that there are enough part kits to put a functional gun together. As this gun has parts that come from at least 6 different "original guns".

I just picked up a Type 99 from someone who brought it from Ohio Ordnance and it has been converted to 7.62/.308 with three different main serial numbers among the three major components. The upper receiver has serial # 13065, Kokura Hitachi in April 1944 The barrel is Serial # 3108, made in Dec, 1941 The lower receiver and the bolt carrier group have the same serial # of 9343 The rest of the components like the charging handle, dust cover, bolt carrier locking block, and scope all have different serial numbers. Is this common or rare for a mix party like this one ? It also has this marking on the receiver "HR Guns, P C FL" . Is it an import mark ? Pictures https://postimg.cc/gallery/ms4qFHxF
