Type 99 Arisaka
Type 99 Arisaka
Cleaned up the Type 99 and thought I would share some pictures. I don't know much about these, so if anyone could chime in it would be appreciated. The mum has been ground off, and the barrel appears to be chromed. I can't find any import marks.

Nice Type 99. This website helped me a lot when I picked up mine. http://www.castle-thunder.com/series.htm
Looks like a Nagoya first series to me. Nice!
The barrels are chrome lined. Mine is in excellent shape, and a nice shooter. How is the bore on yours?

Nice. I think these rifles are really under appreciated.

Re: Type 99 Arisaka
Nice one. This is one, of many, that I have not opened the wallet for yet.
Re: Type 99 Arisaka
They are fine, well made firearms. The lack of appreciation may be due to the difficulty to find and pay for ammunition. I bought a nice example nearly a year ago and I have yet to shoot it, something I intend to rectify.BuckeyeSgt wrote:Nice. I think these rifles are really under appreciated.

Re: Type 99 Arisaka
I was surprised as to how fun they are shoot. Mine hit the bullseye easily at 100 yards.

Re: Type 99 Arisaka
The Type 99 Arisaka is highly underrated when compared to other battle rifles of WWII. It was the first rifle to be designed with a chrome-lined bore. The bore one I have also looks pristine. Only gripe I have is the lack of available ammo. You have to reload if you want to shoot the rifle much. I really like your Type 99.Fledge wrote:The bore looks like new.
