I'd clean and treat it as any other hunting rifle. Brush and swab out the barrel, the chamber, etc. Lube it up on the moving bits with some gun oil and wipe the whole thing down with an oily cloth. Should be fine and look great.

Mr Potts,
Glad tossed you got the Type 99. If you intend to shoot it and reload you can save your self some money by using 30-06 brass. Just pass them thru a 7.7 die, l use Lee dies, and trim to length. I did 300 for my Type 99 and 7.7 Arisaka. If not Grafs has 7.7 brass at a reasonable price. Give the rifle a good initial cleaning then clean as necessary as you would any other rifle.

@Samnev... I have a bit of empty brass just sitting around. I don't reload so you are welcome to have them.
Yes for sure. Just hate to see them go to waste.
Thanks i don't reload either but it was a nice offer. Got the rifle but have to pick it up Monday but that's ok, it's a done deal. I doubled check everything and every assesores match. The bayonet doesn't unfortunately but it's ok, it was a good deal. What was neat I looked closer at the green charm thing hanging from bayonet, and it had writing on it, I'm getting it translated, but I want to share it
Let me guess...it says "Made in Japan"?

Who knows
The green piece of Jade (?) makes the whole thing that much more unique and personal. Nice purchase, congratulations MrPotts!
