Dive into the rich history of this firearm, manufactured by the Nagoya Arsenal, one of Japan's primary weapons facilities. Named after Colonel Nariakira Arisaka, the Arisaka Type 99 was one of the standard firearms of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The Type 99 model, introduced in 1939, replaced the earlier Type 38, and was designed to be more effective at longer ranges with its larger 7.7mm caliber ammunition. This particular rifle has been heavily sporterized, with the metal having been reblued at some point in its lifetime.
Despite some minor rust/pitting on the trigger guard, bolt, bolt release, and barrel in front of the shank, the overall condition remains appealing. The rifle features a capacity of 5 rounds and a barrel length of 24.25". Its drilled & tapped sight/optic adds to its allure, and the length of pull measures at 14.2". Owning this piece not only provides a unique shooting experience but also a remarkable piece of wartime history.
