angelmonk Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) 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 ?

Mongo Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Most likely it was a reg dewat that was reactivated by HR guns. Most likely all the parts came from some attic find Type 99 guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelmonk Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 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".
