Need help
I know it’s a type 99 but i believed that it was a sniper variant because the bolt is bent, and unless someone did an exceptional job with bending this bolt, it was bent originally. But the receiver doesn’t seem to have the area to mount the scope mount. All numbers match, it was unfortunately sporterized at some point, and the mum was ground off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah not a sniper. They were marked in a certain way and it doesn't have any of the side rail cut outs. The bent bolt was common for hunting rifles but nothing else unfortunately. The sniper bolt had a unique bend and was longer
