Description:
WW2 "Last Ditch" Type 99 Arisaka produced at the Nagoya Arsenal. The Arisaka Type 99 was the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy's main battle rifle for most of World War 2, a shorter and more powerful model than the Type 38 rifle they started the war with that was chambered in the 6.5 Japanese cartridge. As you can see from the pictures, this rifle has an attractive combat-used look to it and shows finish wear and handling marks typical of an issued rifle. Type 99's produced late-war ("last ditch") rifles used lower quality parts, less finish, as well as shortcuts taken to ease production. The "last ditch" rifles are usually distinguished by their crudeness: poorly finished stock, wood buttplate, very obvious tooling marks in the metal, rudimentary sights and an unfinished bolt knob and handle. These represent a scarce and desirable variation to Arisaka collectors. The original blue finish is still mostly intact but has turned to a brown-blue patina with scattered areas of wear and thinning. The sacred factory-stamped Chrysanthemum on the top of the chamber is present, but shows evidence of being defaced in the field with a bayonet. The chrome-lined bore is excellent in this Type 99, with nice sharp rifling and no visible imperfections. This rifle is matching except the bolt with all-original parts. The original stock has not been sanded or oiled, but has been duffle cut under the rear band. This common method was used by US troops to cut the stock and disassemble the rifle for it to fit into a shipping box. Both the handguard and stock are free from any cracks, chips, repairs, or major damage, showing only some very minor dents/dings you would expect to see on a battle-used rifle. All of the stock hardware, barrel bands, and wooden buttplate is intact and in great shape. All of the controls on this rifle are in perfect working order, and the action is smooth and precise. The bolt turns into battery perfectly and the trigger breaks nicely without being too heavy or gritty like many we have encountered. This Type 99 also comes with an original matching "last ditch" bayonet. If you have been looking for a complete "Last Ditch" Arisaka Type 99 with bayonet for your collection, here is your chance.
