Lol I’m glad he though that it was all bubba so that I could get it! I’m surprised no one bought it before me! I mean if someone were not to know a little bit about them I can see how they would think that it’s home made, fairly crudely made rifles

Hahaha! What a expert...
Lol, I don’t know much about them but I knew enough to know it was no bubba job, just a rifle that was made when the Americans were literally knocking on Japan’s door!
Darn right I am lol, at least put a magazine through it!
Here's the only magazine you'll need: =)
Let’s hope not, plenty of people shoot the last ditch rifles, apparently the arisakas are some of the strongest bolt actions ever made, it’s the trainer rifles that created the bad rap for these guns, those go boom
I’m sure it’ll be just fine, many others have shot theirs and I haven’t heard of any issues with them. Lugs look great! Plus you have the extra safety when the bolt locks into the reciever.
I hope so, won’t be shooting it much at all but would be nice to try it out and take it out once in a while.

Like I said no document survive the war... So it was made late 44 or early 45
Have you ever shot any of yours? How do they shoot?

Yes I shot my type 99 early and my type 99 last ditch and no problem at all... The barrel of my last ditch is in pretty good shape and it shoot well( a bit high) the look are crude and the wood move a little but nothing wrong with them
The only arisaka that we do not shot are the trainer and the special iron cast naval rifle...
Thats why the trainer have double circle on top receiver and sometime marked no live ammo.
The accident appen mostly when American troop that occupy Japan didn't understand Japanese and use live round and shoot with trainer thinking it was normal rifle...

I can admit the look of the very late type 99 so called last ditch is impressive compared with the ww2 rifle of other country... But a wooden buttplate a fixed rear sight, welded bolt knob and front band.. even a rope hole for sling didn't make those rifle Dangerous....
Awesome! That’s great to hear! Can’t wait to try this out!
It’s amazing how they removed so many features from the last ditch rifles. The three piece stock is interesting, the forewood, rattles on them but I guess someone could put a wood shim if they wanted to get rid of the wobble without altering it in any way!
