Hi everyone
I've recently obtained a type 99 rifle (Toyo Kogyo arsenal) that I initially believed to be chambered in 7.7 Japanese, however, upon closer inspection i believe this example to actually be chambered in 8mm mauser. From what little research I have done on this it seems like the Chinese had rechambered these rifles to fire the cartridge. Would there be any markings on the rifle to indicate this as being the case?
