High Condition Japanese Type 99

[CanadianAR]

Just got this in, epic early Type 99. Rarer maker, known for their quality, Toyo Kogyo, located in Hiroshima.......Matching to the dust cover, early AA sights and monopod. Untouched wood, and the best bluing Ive ever seen on a japanese type 99. Screws all still staked fast, not staked in the slot like most, just dented wherever. Also came with a really nice sling with painted hardware. I was super happy to get this one!

So how does it shoot?

Truly a nice example. You sure you don't have a time machine or time capsule?? ..........lots of 7.7 Jap ammo out there

hah Id have 100x the stuff if I had a time machine. I may post alot of nice stuff, but countless hours go into searching, networking, the horrible waiting game of sending payment, shipping , then import, then shipping, and money and more money. LOL

Lovely rifle my friend, another excellent score.

Do you see many Type I Carcano/Arisakas out there? I browse GB every now and then and prices seem to fluctuate wildly. I mostly dabble in Balkan area firearms and those have gone nuts recently - what was 300 dollars last year has almost doubled in asking price.

Reason I mention as the Type I's are often overlooked and I'm curious if they have remained stable and low...

Very nice example, One of the best Arisakas I have seen.

Can you post a picture of the muzzle? I wanna see how the crown is on what was the first military rifle to feature chrome lining. Super cool find man, probably a once in a lifetime find.

The bolt face is also chromed. Here are two quick pics.

The chromed barrel isn't too exciting in my opinion but the chromed bolt face is really something. I've always thought that was one of the more interesting design features of the Type 99's.

that's super cool, thanks for posting the pics!

Wow, beautiful! Nicest arisaka I've ever seen. Makes me regret selling my Thai T38 a few years back.

Very nice, U.S.sure have some very nice ones.

I took a look at this one in hand, it's definitely one of the best I've seen in a collection up here.

I look forward to when you get bored with this, sell it to me, and then whine constantly for months afterwards

Lol, ya but when you said I could have it back I said no and stood by my decision. I just like to piss and moan. Especially to you.
