it's a type 99 in original dress, later production but not quite last ditch (wooden butt plate, simplified ladder rear sight, de-mummed, no way to mount the monopod) The reason it was $20 is because it's been sitting in either a basement or barn for the last few decades, its rough, covered in rust and the stock is very dingy. on the plus side it's complete and everything works, the bores even in good shape (with complementary spiderweb). I'm pretty sure it would be safe to shoot, but since I don't want to get into 7.7 jap I'm not going to worry about it.

I don't know what I'm going to actually do with it other than refinish the wood just for poops and giggles, any ideas on what to do with the metal?
