Re: Arisaka type 99
If you plan on shooting it it's a good idea to try to avoid ones made 44-45 since they were cutting corners at that point and the metal can be suspect in many of them. The early ones were fine rifles though and usually are good shooters.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Arisaka type 99
Like this one?
Laid it on one of my reference books for photo. Mine is a Type 99, Series 33, Arsenal Toyo Kyogo. Mum, monopod and sight with wings intact. Not a real spiffy photo but you get the gist.

Sorry, but to me they are junk.
Flame on. Only collectors seem to defend their use.

Re: Arisaka type 99
The only Arisaka I've ever handled was in hoooorrible condition after being stuck in a closet and forgotten about, probably right after it was fished out of a body of water. It was bad.
Still, a crude finish and a "weird" safety aren't enough to toss out what might be a solid design.

Re: Arisaka type 99
Mine is decent. The silly dust cover makes it feel like a rattle trap. Often in the field the soldiers took it off for convenience. Take off the cover and it's a whole different feel. As I recall, these are among the stoutest of the actions based on the Mauser, they have been tested to above 70,000, and I think I remember reading they are rated to 120,000.
The Japanese were horrendous during the 30s and 40s, and I certainly do not condone their waging of war. However, I do believe in collecting to preserve history. I have a fair number of milsurps, including this Japanese example, and a Nazi marked Hi-Power. Not because I espouse their beliefs, but to preserve a little bit of history.

Re: Arisaka type 99
I guess you know that in after WW 2 , there where plenty of Ariska and Mausers brought back to the states that there was a demand for barrels and stocks that it created several new companies and breathed life into older companieas in the firearms buisness.Toddstang wrote:guncrank1 wrote:Back in the day Jap rifles where the Mosin -Nagant of the day.

The gunmaker/gunsmith PO Ackely blew up a Mauser before the Jap action.

So I guess you could call the 30 the 99's grandfather.

Re: Arisaka type 99
I have one of the 99 like pictured above. Pretty standard stuff but pretty neat with the antiaircraft sights and the monopod. I also have one of the last ditch guns. Pretty neat side by side comparison to illustrate how desperate they were to get guns out the door in the last bit of the war. I also have bayonets for both that are fashioned in the same regard. I might try to take some side by side comparison pictures for you.

Re: Arisaka type 99
Look closely for the differences in quality and the extra machine work that was involved. Also notice the amount of missing metal in the last ditch gun that I would assume would allow more for another rifle?
