I have a WWII Japanese rifle, tentatively identified as a Model 99, Bolt action, with a fixed magazine. I was told it was a 7.7mm. I have a few questions: Is this a right size? Is this a standard cartridge? Is it available? Can I get ammo in the states or do I need to order from Japan? Is reloading my only hope? The rifle is in pretty good condition, does it have any inherent value? (other than being a neat collectable rifle 8-) ). Where can I find information about this rifle? If anybody has any answers to these questions, or even answers to questions I didn't think to ask, the data would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all, in advance. carl.
