I have purchased 2 rifles to add to my collection, and cannot find any referrence to one of them. This rifle has a barrel about 5 inches shorter then standard. Still full military configuration, is it Japanese issue, or has someone altered it? It is a last ditch rifle. Thanks rearm

  The type 99 also came in a "short rifle" version, with a 25.8 in barrel the "long version being 31.4".So it probably is as issued
