Description
06/13/2024 – This is a rare Japanese Arisaka Type 99 Special Navy rifle from World War II. There were only about 14,000 of these manufactured at Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, and they feature a cast iron receiver and small parts (only the barrel and bolt are steel). The rifle overall is in good condition with the metal retaining a lot of its original bluing, but it is starting to turn brown with age. The bore is on the brighter side but fully frosted through, and the rifling becomes more worn towards the muzzle. The rifle has a matching assembly stamped bolt and no other numbers on other parts. The stock is has a rack number “8 0” painted on the right side.
