World War II JINSEN ARSENAL Type 99 JAPANESE Last Ditch C&R Military Rifle
Jap Arisaka Made in Korea w/BAYONET, SHEATH & SLING
Description: World War II JINSEN ARSENAL Type 99 JAPANESE Last Ditch C&R Military Rifle Jap Arisaka Made in Korea w/BAYONET, SHEATH & SLING Here we present a C&R Japanese Type 99 Arisaka “Last Ditch” Military Rifle manufactured circa 1944-1945 at the Jinsen Arsenal in Inchon, Korea. Japan ruled Korea between 1905-1945. Production at this arsenal began in 1923 and continued until the end of the war in 1945. 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. Despite the respect that the rifle earned early on, the Type 99 suffered from quality control towards the end of the war with the Japanese Empire struggling to survive. Raw materials and competent production processes were both in short supply resulting in poor quality and finishes on most of the outgoing Arisaka rifles including the Type 99, thus being referred to as a “Last Ditch Effort”. Some were shipped without finishes of any kind while others had their rear sites wholly replaced by a more basic and fixed system. Additionally, the machining process involved in the internal components often led to the rifle being quite dangerous to fire for the operator for the core components were poorly produced. As Japanese surrender became all the more imminent, many Army rifles bearing the Imperial Chrysanthemum marking of the Emperor had this emblem grounded down in 1945 to spare the Emperor the embarrassment of surrender. Many surviving rifles are often found with this particular condition, especially late-war/late-model production versions. The butt plate is simply made of wood due to material shortages. This is a great specimen of just how basic these rifles got as the U.S. & Allies starved the island nation of raw materials. The overall condition is very good. Robust action. This example has a semi-bright bore that remains in good shape. Solid stock overall with average wear. Good leather sling. Visible markings are legible. Both the bayonet and scabbard are good. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 26 inches. Caliber: 7.7mm Japanese Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1350 #228400 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
