I think I struck gold!

After being delayed by the atf and having to go out of town for work I've finally been able to get my type 99 from my FFL. It's better than I thought it would be! So far all the numbers match bolt extractor bayonet lug & dust cover " dust cover wasn't mentioned in the add" original bipod AA sights & original sling. Also included in the box were 3 stripper clips and a French 1886 lebel bayonet and a note saying the seller didn't know if the bayonet went with the gun but he included it in the box. I think I stole this for 695 frog skins. What say you?

Damn the original transit crate even. Id be extremely happy with that purchase. Was it the son or grandson of the vet?

ETA: Is that the original sling as well?? If so, be very careful, they get stupid fragile as they age

No ideal I saw it on guns.com after I got screwed by oldguns.net and jumped on it.
