World War II TOKYO JUKI KOGYO Type 99 7.7mm Japanese “LAST DITCH” Rifle C&R
SCARCE Primary Infantry Weapon for the JAPANESE ARMY!
Here we present a Japanese Tokyo Juki Kogyo Type 99 “Last Ditch” Arisaka Military Rifle manufactured circa 1945 by Tokyo Juki Kogyo (Tokyo Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Corporation) which was a commercial firm that was subcontracted out by the Kokura arsenal. Overall, Tokyo Juki Kogyo didn't make a large number of these during the war with roughly 96,000 total manufactured (56,000 in series 37 and 40,000 in series 27). With so few made it means that TJK rifles are very uncommon to run across. Interestingly, Tokyo Juki Kogyo is also still in business today under the name Juki and makes sewing machines.
The Type 99 was one of the standard bolt-action combat rifles to be used by the Japanese Empire during World War II. At the start of its production, it proved a reliable and robust rifle. But, the closing noose of the Pacific Theater soon brought about dramatic changes in its production methods, often leading to a subclass weapon. The Type 99 had several variants that included the Short Rifle, Long Rifle, an airborne variant, and a dedicated sniper model. Production lasted from 1939 into 1945 before ending with Japan's surrender.
This rifle is a great example of the crude functionality that was characteristic of the late years of the war. This rifle showcases and roughly finished stock, a wooden butt plate, very apparent welds on barrel bands and safety. Non-adjustable peep sight. While the general mode of surrender was to grind off the Chrysanthemum, this one was only slightly defaced with a punch-like tool.
The overall condition is very good. Strong action with a smooth bolt pull. Bright, chrome-lined bore with Metford rifling. The stock is in good shape and solid. The bolt assembly is a different number than the rifle but the parts all match within the bolt. The only visible number on the rifle is on the receiver. This happened with many “bringbacks” and war trophies as bolts were separated temporarily from the rifles on the boat back. Here is a wonderful example of WWII Japanese history.
