    Those are exquisite dies you have made chuck, I hope they make magazines as exquisite as they are them selves.

  • Rick

    Wow they do look nice!

  • Will Cushman

    Thanks for sharing the photos and comments. I enjoy seeing the care and craftsmanship that it takes to produce a weapon from ‘scratch’. The dies are beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the results of your hard work.

    I would be interested in some magazines as well. I don’t suppose you have a idea of the unit cost? Now, here’s another one for you. The barrels are not difficult to machine as I made one in .303 from a 1.5″ Pac-Nor blank but the front sight assy which is also the gas block is a bit of a bugger. I could make one I suppose but the idea would be to make a few front sight assy and carry handle so a person could make barrels for their 99’s. I don’t know how many Type 99 LMG’s are out there but feel they are a real sleeper in the machine gun world as you can still pick one up for $10K ish. Love mine and now that Privi Partisan is making brass and Grafs sells it roll my own with either pulled 7.62X54R ball or Hornday 174gr. Last machine gun shoot went through 1K with my one Japanese 99 mag during the day, not a single problem! Anyway, you guys are giving us all hope that true innovation has not died in the good old USA!

    Any Update on the Japanese Type 99 Magazine ??? I just got my Transferable Yesterday and need Mag’s !!!

    P.S. Guess you plan on taking all my money since I Preordered a VG 1-5 too !!!

    • Chuck

      We are working on them, however with that said I am spending all my time and money on finishing the VG1-5 project. When it is approved and sent to Greg I can then start back on other projects.

  • Kristopher

    I’m interested in purchasing at least two or three of these magazines when they become available.

  • Charlie Foster

    Do you have any plans to continue with this project in the near future or is it still months off? I would be glad to help out if I can.

  • Pat

    I also am interested in one or two of your type 99 magazines.

  • I am the armorer for our local (all volunteer) Military Museum. We have a Type 99 LMG that has no magazines or the flash hider (bell). If you are making the magazines, or anyone might have one working or not that they would part with, please let me know. Also if anyone has a flash hider or the plans on how to make one, also please let me know. Ours was captured on Iwo Jima, and is a very important part of our soon to be upgraded military firearms display so I would really like to get this one “cherry”!

  • Harry
