I have several Jap rifles, but they wouldn' t be my choice for hunting. There' s nothing wrong with the cartridge, but the safety is very slow to work and not what I' d want in a hunting situation. If you don' t mind the sights and funky safety it will work fine for deer.

For the average Type 99, a ground mismatched gun runs $50 to $100.00 One with an untouched mum, matching numbers, and unsporterized by Bubba will bring $200.00 and up.
