 What is a quick and easy way to tell Type 38 dust covers from the Type 99 ones when they are detached from a rifle?

| Type 38 are 6" long while Type 99 dust covers are 5-7/8ths inches. Earl |

Thanks Earl. Now which ones have the support post at the inside rear of the cover?

| Most 38 covers will have the L-stop, very very early 99 covers may as well. Trainer covers are usually un-numbered and do not have the L-stop. Watch out for people shortening 38 covers as the receiver slots on some 99s are too short for the bolt to close with a 38 dust cover on it. Trey |

| Do all the Type 99 (longs) dustcovers have the L-stop or is it also a matter that some do, some don't? Kim |

| I think all of the 99 Longs that I have seen that had matching dust covers had L-Stops in them (6 or 8 I guess), I've seen quite a few more with non-maching covers that were length with L-stop, 99 length w/out L-stop, and 38 Covers w/L-stop. Trey |
