A takedown variant of the Type 99 rifle, the Type 2 is designed to be carried in a jump bag by a paratrooper and rapidly reassembled after landing, reducing dependence on separate equipment drops. Blade front and folding rear sights with anti-aircraft wings, an untouched mum on the receiver, and a smooth pistol grip stock with a canvas sling and a cupped steel buttplate. Matching partial serial numbers are present on the bayonet lug, underside of the barrel, dust cover and bolt components, with the "927" assembly number on the left side of the barrel, the front and rear mounting irons, and the wedge screw. A brass muzzle protector is also included.

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing the beginnings of a gray and brown patina, scattered spotting, mild edge wear and handling marks. The assembly numbers are double struck; the number was originally "924", with the last two digits overstruck with "27" on the irons, barrel and wedge screw. The stock is fine, with a number of dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
