For sale is a Arisaka Type 99 bolt-action rifle in 7.7×58. Serial number – 6961. All visible SNS are matching! This Arisaka is still in fantastic condition especially if you consider the fact that the vast majority of Type 99s were heavily used and it is difficult to find one in excellent condition. The bore also looks excellent, it is bright and shiny with no pitting, rust, or powder residue. This rifle still has the full Chrysanthemum, the Monopod, and Airplane Sights. Rifles with the chrysanthemum intact are likely war trophies returned to the US by troops that fought in the Pacific War. The monopod was often stripped off the rifle by Japanese soldiers and the Japanese stopped manufacturing the airplane sights later in the war opting for easier-to-produce/cheaper rear sights. The symbol or kana indicates this is a 1st series produced by the Nagoya Arsenal. The Arisaka Type 99 was the standard issue of the Imperial Japanese military during the 2nd Sino-Japanese War and World War II.

Please Note there is a scrap of paper that is stuck onto the top of the stock. It appears to be the letter or address the rifle was sent to by a soldier or marine that shipped it home! It is very fragile and most of the words have faded. Please see them in the photos! V2-B6 Barrel Length: 26 Bore condition: Good
