OUTSTANDING JAPANESE TYPE 99 LIGHT MACHINE GUN WITH ADAPTER TO FIRE FROM TRIPOD (C & R). JAPANESE 99LMG 4077 7.7JAP MODERN; NFA; C&R Cal. 7.7 Japanese. 26-1/2" bbl with flash hider. Mfg by Nagoya in April of 1943. This Type 99 LMG includes 3 unadapted MG-13 mags. This cataloger has successfully adapted these mags to Jap type 99 machine guns. External SNs match as does bbl, bolt, and operating rod. This specimen includes the monopod at the rear of the butt and the typical adjustable gas port nut at end of gas block, with rather scarce flash hider present as well as bbl head space ring. This specimen also has a post war clam shell adapter affixed to the gas tube just forward of the receiver which will allow it to be mounted to to some kind of a tripod in much the same manner as an M-60 machine gun, an innovative idea. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. This item is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or 4 as Curio & Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish extremely fine as refinished. Dull gray finish over some scattered areas of pitting noticeable at the ejection port and right side of bbl where it meets the receiver, otherwise very little pitting. Mags show evidence of scattered light pitting. Wooden bbl carrying handle appears to be a reproduction replacement with a hex head screw retainer cap. Wooden buttstock is refinished with black enamel painted buttplate. Wooden hand grip and carrying handle show several dings but remain strong and serviceable. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is very fine shiny and bright. Overall a very nice matching Jap Type 99, with evidence of it being used as a shooter. 52619-51 JWK106 (7,500-10,000)
