Opinion of value for Jap type 99 LMG with 3 barrels, magazines, adapters for 7.7 jap, .308, and 7.62X39 ammo


type99lmg

Recommended Posts

Condition?  Scope?  Flash hider? Flip up muzzle protector?  Matching?  Condition (yes, twice, since this seems to be so important to pricing a 99)? Rear monopod? 

Gun price varies drastically with condition. My guess on extras - $2k each per conversion (including barrel). $1500 for extra mag. Maybe $500 for conversion mags. Added together ~$6k for extras. I may be low on these since I've not seen any in a while, so between $6-$8k for extras to the right buyer. Hard to tell current temperature / interest for Japanese NFA.

Not familiar with ballistic shield?

Gun maybe between $12 and $20k+ depending on condition?  Others may have different opinions.  Good luck!

Parts are more available for the type 99 vs 96, 11 & 92.  I currently have a dewat 99 with lots of parts and  caliber conversions.  Japanese LMG's DEWATS come up for sale and the parts to make them work on a form 1 are in demand. 

7k to 10k depending on condition for extras.  The LMG has too many factors, 7k to 20k.  There are poor welded together receivers to high quality and cared for weapons.
