I have a T99. My grandpa brought it back from the war. Mine works great but don't have the rod, airplane sights and the Chrysanthemum is removed from mine as well. But I do have the matching bayonet so that is a plus. They were very crudely made to begin with so I can't imagine how bad this sounds.
Fun to shoot but its a sad reminder of that gun being used on us. I don't get mine out very often and I know my grandpa never shot it, he didn't even like to look at it. I think as he got older it was more of a bad memory rather than a fun bring back.
