My father told me a story about landing in the South Pacific in a place where Japanese troupes had previously been and there were all sorts of dust covers and mono-pods on the ground. It seems they these were the first things to go in service...

The only original T99 Arisaka I've had had an even patina where these parts would have been and there was no sign of wear marks to make me think the rifle had been used with them in place. This rifle also had the the aircraft sights removed. Anyway once I got it I realized that it wasn't as important to me as I thought it would be so I sold it and bought something else.
