It has always surprised me that Japanese firearms were so bad
My cousin brought a bolt-action Jap rifle back from the Philippines. Crudely finished on the outside, but the rifling and all the working parts were very good.

The Type 99 is good as long as it isn’t a late war version. A chrome-lined barrel and a strong action. The sights on the early versions were gimmicky. The quality went down towards the end of the war and they took manufacturing shortcuts.
