This video showcases a rare Type 99 Nambu rifle chambered in 7.62mm NATO, a conversion that requires only a barrel change and no permanent firearm modification. The description highlights the scarcity and expense of original 7.7mm magazines, leading to the adaptation of M14 magazines for this caliber.
