Very interesting. Trey, it looks like the U shaped spring was added to the rotating trap door shortly after my 2nd variation #57442 as your examples have it and mine doesn't. Do yours have the sprin ...

I've seen a number of these. Funny thing is, if they are rotated out of their normal place, it's always to the left, never to the right. I have or had one that was 45 degrees out of position rather ...

Trey, I think this rifle may well have been issued but never left Japan. There is some slight bruising to the wood where the sling button would have been. It still has one of the AA springs and the ...

I have a 20th series Kokura T-99 that was picked up in Japan at Tachikawa Air Base. It has it's "bring back" paper and I talked to the vet on the phone about it. When he picked it up it wa ...
