The Arisaka rifle, named after Colonel Arisaka Nariakira, emerged from Japan’s Meiji Restoration period, a time when the nation was rapidly modernizing its military to match Western standards. Introduced in 1897, the Type 30 Arisaka was Japan's first significant step toward creating a homegrown, bolt-action rifle that could rival those used by European powers. Designed to be robust and reliable, the Type 30 and its subsequent models, particularly the Type 38 and Type 99, became the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Army. These rifles were renowned for their durability and ability to perform well under harsh conditions, reflecting the Japanese focus on resilience and practicality.
The Type 38 Arisaka, introduced in 1905, became one of the most widely used versions, seeing extensive service during Japan’s early 20th-century conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. The rifle was chambered for the 6.5x50mmSR cartridge, which provided manageable recoil and decent accuracy. However, as the needs of warfare evolved, Japan sought a more powerful rifle. This led to the development of the Type 99 Arisaka in 1939, chambered for the 7.7x58mm round. The Type 99 was designed to deliver greater stopping power and better range, aligning with Japan's expanding military ambitions during the early years of World War II.
A notable variant of the Arisaka family was the Type 2 Paratroop model, introduced in 1942. This rifle was specifically designed for Japanese airborne forces and featured a unique takedown mechanism that allowed it to be easily disassembled into two parts for compact storage and transport. The Type 2 retained the robust construction and reliability of the standard Type 99 but added the crucial advantage of portability for paratroopers. This design enabled soldiers to jump from aircraft with their weapons more safely and efficiently, and then quickly reassemble the rifles upon landing. The Type 2 Paratroop model saw extensive use in the Pacific Theater, where Japan’s paratroopers undertook various operations that required the combination of mobility and firepower.
After Japan’s defeat in World War II, the Arisaka rifles were gradually phased out as Japan's Self-Defense Forces were established under the auspices of the United States. The American influence led to the adoption of more modern and standardized firearms, such as the M1 Garand and later, the Howa Type 64. The Howa Type 64, introduced in the early 1960s, symbolized Japan’s shift towards contemporary NATO-standard weapons. Although the Arisaka rifles were retired from active service, they left a lasting legacy and remain a significant part of military history, cherished by collectors and historians for their unique place in the evolution of Japanese military technology.

I'm glad to hear Administrative Results mention the Invasion of Crete! My maternal Grandfather was dropped airborne on Crete. He was with the 3rd "Luftlande-Sturm-Regiment" on the first Wave!
He died from Lung Cancer in 2010 (despite never having smoked in his Life but he worked for an American Company in Germany that worked on Nuclear Sciences after WW2)
Anyway, he always told me about how much of a "Sh'tshow" it was regarding the Paratroopers/Falschirmjäger and Tactics etc. He also mentioned how almost all their Gear ended up a few Kilometers away from their Landing Spot.
Of course as his Grandson i'm glad he survived this. I still have his "Kreta Armband" (Crete Cufftitle) framed on my Wall

I am sooo happy for seeing someone finally do this rifle. I own a type 99 Arisaka passed down from my WW2 grandfather. It is an amazing piece, unsure of how he ever got it back here. Has the chrome barrel, anti air sights, cleaning kit, mono-pod, and fully intact chrysanthemum and arsenal numbers. I put about 200 rounds of 7.7 FMJ from Norma through it without failure. Last time I went looking for ammo the rounds jumped in price from about $1 to over $4 each, maybe the market is better now.
It isn’t last time I looked a box of 20 is over $30
It's about $45 for a box of 20 right now. I just bought a bunch for my 99. It appears as if Norma just had a production run of the ammo
They were allowed to bring them back by ship. Idk why each soldier took only 1 as so many rifles were dumped into the sea.
Almost all will have unmatched bolts and missing dust covers.
@@jason200912 Because of regulations. They were allowed to bring one trophy weapon home. Imagine the logistics of an entire unit bringing back a crate of rifles home each. WW2 bolt rifles were dirt cheap for decades after, so it wouldn't have been profitable anyway.
@@FoxtrotFleet shouldn't be that hard. They kept the rifles right next to their bed so they could have easily given 3 per man instead of a limit of 1.
If you watch the first "Dirty Harry" movie from 1971, the villain, Scorpio, uses an Arisaka paratrooper model like this one.
It was heavily modified to look like a purpose-built sniper rifle, But yes, that was a Type 2. That rifle was used in a BUNCH of movies.

At some point my great grandfather “acquired” an Arisaka when he was fighting over seas. The mum is gone and he ditched the stock. He build a custom one that is currently on the rifle. It doesn’t get shot much and probably isn’t worth a whole lot but it’s a cherished family heirloom regardless

For my HLL enjoyers
I was in the Air Force and have a Army Paratrooper friend. When I made mention of jumping out of "perfectly good airplanes his retort was "there are no perfectly good airplanes"! Point taken!🤣🤣🤣
the reason they spliced the stock is the type and quality of the wood they used and the way they wanted the grain on the toe to go. when they made the stocks out of a single piece of wood the toe would often crack and pieces would break off from repeated slamming the toe against the ground. so they came up with splicing the stoch with a piece with the grain running in a different direction than the rest of the stock.
The reason why the stock were two separate wood pieces was so the wood grain could run a parallel angle with the stock. This made the stock more durable.

No shit had a guy put one on consignment with me asking 9k and i thought he was batshit.

Also the think was USED and it was USED HARD.
Yeah that is crazy even if it is really nice the max is like $4k
@Diffy_887 you would think I'm pretty well versed on milsurp and this one was a type 2 paratrooper model and had all the markings and all matching numbers and all tge metal was in good shape but the wood was ROUGH and I felt it went way too high

Hey Admin.
There was the Type 100 which was a Type 99 that broke apart with interrupting threads vs the large peg that Type 2 has. That had a monopod.
The type 1 was the Type 38 Carbine that had the hinged stock. No monopod on these guys.
If you're ever interested in playing with either rifle. I have them both. 😁
That was quite a find, the rifle appears hardly used. The Arisaka was one of the strongest bolt actions ever made. If you can find it, see the story of the 6.5x50 type 38 in Frank de Haas' "Bolt Action Rifles", that was rechambered in .30-06. The owner thought it recoiled a bit much when hunting, and took it to a gunsmith who found the "problem".
@@scottrobinson3281 was he firing 6.5 in a 30-06 chamber?
@@jason200912 I think he worded it poorly and meant the shooter chambered 30-06 in 6.5 and fired (6.5 bore is dramatically smaller than 30 cal bore) bullet got squeezed thur 6.5 bore and had nuclear pressure that rem700 would never never never survive.
@@TrollinCrazyRussian I've heard of that but idk how it would work since you'd need a grinded out chamber to fit a shell that large

I remember seeing an Arisaka for sale a few years back for 50$.
One of my biggest regrets not buying it
The American paratroopers do use drop canisters for weapons too but it's not in canister forms but mostly just normal bags stuffed with rifles and clips and dropped along with paratroopers.
Whilst of course, the US Paras have weaponry that fit the need of a paratroopers like the M1 Carbine and the SMGs, they too need suppressive firepower and enough range to reach certain enemies beyond 300yrds so there are still riflemen in the US Paras that requires guns like BARs and Garands. That's when the weapons drop in burlap bags comes into play.
Also, the rattling sound isn't coming from when you fire the gun. It's when you move WITH the gun that's the issue.
You have to remember that during the entirety of the early Pacific war, American and the Commonwealth forces were in the deep end and were losing hard. Japan was on a run and their forces are very well-trained fighting in jungles vs the Allied forces as they've consistent trainings in their occupied territory even before the war, Taiwan.
Thus, the Japanese were great in jungle recon, sabotage and even ambushes but that's when the dust cover became a problem.
The firing part wasn't their concern but it's just that due to that loose metal part, it rattles quite abit as they walk and run around behind foliage and the worse it got with unmatched dust covers. It reared its ugly head even more in Guadacanal as this time, the Japanese were losing its ground and had to resort in attacking the Americans in the dark or ambushes which helped but they're often caught out by the alerting Americans cuz with raider and flushing parties out to hunt these entrenched Japanese, once the Japanese moved and the dust cover rattles, their cover is blown and got met with overpowering US firepower thus many ditched the dust cover soon after. They too realized that the gun still works either way so might as well.
That px4 is freaking SICK. I know it's an arisaka vid but I had to shout the Beretta out
I appreciate The Pacific reference.
Great intro as well. Good stuff, 👍🏼
The HLL headshot sound at the start was a chefs kiss
so true
ADD Break!!..*Fun fact the Japanese used Urushi lacquer on rifle stocks, a centuries old finish that whithstands high temperatures, mold, acidic elements +. However it's derived from a sap related to poison oak/poison ivy so if you plan on refinishing one don't get it on your skin. 🤙
5:10 it's hilarious to me that there are people looking for this rifle everywhere, and you just stumbled across it and bought it on a whim.
What are the odds lol
@@AdministrativeResults 50:50
I’ve got one of these and the story about how I acquired it is a bit random.
My dad is a plumber and went to work on a house for a low income vet. The guy gave my dad a few gold coins and an Arisaka. My dad is pretty liberal and as such, he’s not a gun guy at all. However, I was still in the army at the time and he knew as a grunt that guns were a huge hobby for me. He drove 800 miles to bring this firearm down to me and I still have it.
Weird gun, rare ammo, but fun to shoot and mine still has the chrysanthemum so the history on it is rather interesting to me.
The Pacific reference was great 😂
Love the Hell Let Loose sound affects lol
The Type 99 was truly an excellent piece of military hardware. When they first developed it, they were planning to make it a long rifle ala the Type 38. They quickly realized that yeah, the average Japanese soldier was tiny and so making a rifle that's more than a head taller then them with the bayonet attached wasn't really practical. Roughly 38,000 Type 99 Long rifles were made before they switched to the standard short rifle. 30,000 were made by the Toyo Kogyo factory and 8000 by Nagoya Arsenal. I own one of the Nagoya Arsenal ones and it's the pride of my collection. It's amazing how cheap they are despite their rarity. The Arisaka Rifles are seriously underrated for how cool they are.

I'd love to see what your wife sees when you do the most random stuff around the house for your videos.
Production quality getting better and better
Tmk The real reason the dust covers are usually missing is the same reason many Kar98s have mismatched bolts and its just the fact theyd usually get discarded either when surrendered and piled up or the GIs were throwing them away themselves. The idea of the Japanese themselves throwing them out doesnt make sense due to how the IJA and IJN disciplined soldiers, if any of threw threw away a part of their rifle for no reason theyd likely be beaten as they were for basically any other disciplinary action.
Wish I’d mentioned this but this is 100% true, it would have been viewed as vandalizing property of the emperor and a Japanese soldier who did this would have been beaten unironically.
NAH, they discarded them because some dude on the internet said so
Plus pulling them apart when being transported back to the USA they weren't left assembled so most of them came back non matching

If you're into vintage take-down rifles, here's one for you - the Remington Model 24 - the original version of what would become the Browning SA-22 - designed by John Browning himself - in various iterations of 22 Rimfire.
Remington produced the Model 24 for some years after WWI, before Browning got his own company up and going, and started making the SA-22.
And the design has changed so little over the years, that you can still take some of the parts from a modern SA-22, and use them in a Remington Model 24 that's close to or over 100 years old.
After my father passed away in 2011, I found a Remington Model 24 in 22 Short he'd acquired from someone, hidden in the back of a closet. Date code on the barrel translated to a production date of September 1922. After doing a little research, cleaning out a century's worth of grease and dirt, and fixing the stretched-out magazine tube spring, it's in excellent condition and works flawlessly.
Im a huge type 99 collector and would love to add one of these to my collection but I don’t think I’d ever want to pay the price tag. Super jealous and congrats on the awesome rifle added to your collection

many of the first garands ( 400 ) bought by the marine corps ended up with 1st battalion 5th and 6th marine regiment in 1938 for their testing of the new rifle
after midway the marines would officially adopt the m1 garand as their official battle rifle in june of 1942. however you would still see a mixture of garands and the occasional m1903 in battles all the way up until about 1943+
