Arisaka Type 99
Arisaka Type 99
Hey guys just picked up a very nice type 99 today and just a questions that I cant seem to find an answer to. I looked up the markings and its a Nagoya 10 series rifle. Any idea around what year the 10th series were produced?

Re: Arisaka Type 99
My books with that information are buried so deep it would take me weeks to find them, but if I recall there was at least one website that had that information, I lost the link.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Arisaka Type 99
I can't make out series markings but I'd say 1944 or later since it is a simple rear sight. It looks like it is in great condition besides the Mum being defaced.

Re: Arisaka Type 99
I believe series 10 started late 44 early 1945. Nice condition, bolt match?

Re: Arisaka Type 99
Here are more pics. I took a better picture of the series mark. It looks like series 10 but im not 100% positive.
The bolt appears to be all matching but im fairly certain it isnt original to the rifle.

Nice Rifle
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Nice looking Arisaka! Looks like it has the last ditch wooden buttplate too.

Thanks for the safety knob pic, the weld is what I needed to see.

Re: Arisaka Type 99
Is your bolt numbered to your rifle? Reason I ask is this, I have a Nagoya series 10 with the bolt, extractor and firing pin all matching the last three of the serial number though the cocking piece I found out was correct for a Type 38 and not matching. I was told I should have a welded cocking/safety knob. My series 10 is a high number and has the welded bolt handle, your rifle is a lower number in the series and has the plum handle yet has a welded knob. So I'm curious, does that bolt match?mike_mays wrote:etprescottazusa91 wrote:etprescottazusa91 wrote:I believe series 10 started late 44 early 1945. Nice condition, bolt match?

Most do not, a lot of Arisaka's with non matching bolts and often non matching parts to the bolt.
