Need Help Identifying a Rifle

    I came across a rifle for $25 so I couldn't pass it up. I would like to refinish it however I must get more info on it. The side of the borrow reads 1914, on top it say 30-06 then some Chinese/Japanese letters that read 99. So I'm assuming it's a Japanese Type 99 rifle, however after searching the internet I'm unable to find these rifles of a .30-06 calibor they are all 7.7. So anyone have any ideas?

    A lot of type 99's were rechambered (and had the magazines opened up) to accept the 30-06 cartridge. Only a chamber cast will tell for sure (while the smith is doing the cast, have him check it for headspace, lug setback and general safety)

    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
