Nice rifle! I own a Arisaka T-38 infantry rifle. I have to reload and cast my own bullets for 6.5 Arisaka. Very accurate at 200 yards.
It wasn't about lumber size,it was about ease of production when assembling the stocks.The main stock cut be cut in one piece, the other end dovetailed on at the end of the production.
thanks, very informative. i bought one years ago and knew very little about it.
I came across this video. I thank you for sharing. However I was looking for some information regarding the rifle & Bayanet markings in regards to the stamps matching the rifle. I have these and was told that my grandfather picked it from a Japanese soldier that had a good luck flag, Samari Sword, rifle & matching bayonet that he either brought or shipped them home. I'm looking for information about the type 99 and the bayonet having the same markings as this one does have the same stamp. It's a circle with a smaller circle within the circle. All I have been able to learn is that their were 4-5 factories that made the 99s and each had a stamp. If the stamps are the same then they were made by the same factory. And it's rare to have one that both rifle and bayonet have the same markings. Thanks for the info. 🇺🇸
Got mine from my pops. He said when Japan surrendered, there was a huge pile for the G.I.'s to take. He was lucky to grab one in excellent condition. The emperor symbol was defaced on all of them though, he said.
The marks across the chrysanthemum show that this was a demilitarized rifle. Sometimes these marks when not obliterating the chrysanthemum the marks are called refereed to as "Chops". Early type 99's as well as Type 38 had the AA sights, but this was more for use against slow moving Chinese Biplanes rather than faster moving lo-wing monoplanes. They were subsequently dropped from later production rifles. The rifle has the band for a monopod, there is a good chance it was simply discarded somewhere along the way.
At 13:52 you talked about modifying the back sight.On my rifle if you lift the elevation ,at the bottom is a half circle open sight.
Have 2 in our family. Cool firearm
Thank you the safety in my 7.7 has a bump on it I don’t know if somebody switched it with a 6.5 or a model 38
the stock is a nice example
of Japanese joinery and smarter
than all the wastage of one-piece
stocks and w/ the steel reinforcements
of the wrist surely stronger overall
My sister won one in a raffle and gave it to me. Front part has been sportarised with wood being made to look like a deer rifle. Ammo is hard to find and told about $60 for a box of 20.
I have a Type 99 Arasaka it has the original sling long cleaning rod original sling bayonet and the unit cleaning kit and that 99 is freaking accurate
beautiful rifle
Thanks
nice review
im currently 13 as of writing this comment, but i hope i can own a arisaka 99 one day.
Go to gun shows. I don't think it's illegal for you to own in America.
Shit. One more year to go homie🤙 start saving money. They run $500-$1000 these days.
I hear the bolt on the Arisaka rifle is extremely rugged and strong.
The Arisaka type 99 was tested at 150k psi - passed with no issues. It beat out the very reliable U.S Springfield M1903. As far as bolt rifles are concerned, at the time it was the best or one of the best. If interested pick-up "Hatchers Notebook". Written in 1947 it details the experiments done on WWII rifles at the time. It is a good read.
Sooo kool price s going uper. ✌️
I have one that was passed on to me. It has an ariel sight on it. Im not even sure where to get ammo. Any suggestions of what I may have.
How would I fix the fire pin if it's broke it's got a very cheap on the very top
Great video. Beautiful rifle 👍🏻

They did use poionivy in their shellac for what reason I don`t know.
I have a Arisaka Sporterized type 99 rifle and purchased type 99 stock complete to fit a bayonet. I would like to switch the the barrel and complete mechanism onto my stock. Can I switch them over?...are they interchangable?
The type 38 too
would anyone say that fire forming converted 30-06 cases is super important for accuracy? Just wondering if it is then i dont wont to waste powder and a good projectile for a throw away shot to fully prepare the case
The comment about the stock concerning the wood and the splicing at the butt is not completely correct, The primary reason for dovetailing the lower piece onto the stock was to get the grain to run opposite of the stock itself , The wood that they used they had a problem with splintering in the process of what you see on your gun prevented that from happening ,,,,I did enjoy the video 👍😊👍
The durability and concern of the wood splintering is what I have read as well. The fact they built the stock in two pieces was forward thinking.
my father's uncle brought one home from WWII i have it now. and it was made in 1942.
They are a great rifle, especially with the history yours has.
yeah i been learning as much as i can about these rifles. i hate that the shells are so high! cheap as i can find is 1.40 per round. my enfield mk 4 is 0.27 per round.
I have one made in 1939 in mint condition and one I bought made in 1941 in close to mint does yours still have the Chrysanthemum on the receiver
Nice review
Your sling is on backwards. the stud end goes on the front band!
Nice rifle
Tommy Vinson: Thanks. I need to do some reloading and get out to shoot it.
I have a question. I looked at a type 99 yesterday at the pawn store. I pulled back the bolt just to look in there. And when I attempted to close it it didn't. And the guy that handed me the gun to look at tried to push it down and nothing happened. Is there something wrong with it?
I also noticed that it didn't have the flower on it. Just the seal.
RingsOfSaturn : It was probably the magazine follower that was preventing it closing. This was made this way to let the soldier know the rifle was empty and needed reloading. Just use your thumb to press it down a little and the bolt will ride over it so the action will close. The Mum was ground off by the Japanese government to prevent ‘shame’ for the emperor.
@@Snowball042 it wasn't that I checked. It was pushed in all the way but the bolt didn't go down completely, it was stuck.
@Mr Murders thanks
RingsOfSaturn is that doesn’t work, open the bolt and look in the side at the rear, there’s two notch’s for the rear of the bolt cap section, it needs to be in the vertical section for the bolt to close, just use a dowel or a screwgie and push it to the correct position
My grandfather bought 24 Arasaka rifles in 1949 for $15 a piece all had cleaning rods bayonets slings and a tobacco can cleaning kit with brush patches oil can I still have one of the Arasaka rifles my grandfather gave me the wood the Japanese used for the stocks we made of poison sumach
just curious...any idea why some of the numbers (on the sights, bolt,and the serial number itself) are in Arabic numbers not Japanese? Just strikes me as odd. Thanks
The characters are actually Japanese. The characters do look a bit similar.
As part of the Meiji Restoration, the movement to modernize Japan in the late 1860s, the Arabic numerals were adopted. It didn't completely replace the kanji numerals, but did take over for most aspects went representing numerals.
it's not a cherry blossom, it's a chrysanthemum, hence the 'mum' lol
i'd say whoever attempt to deface the mum did a very poor job on it, but it's kindof a good thing itself, heh
Not at all, it's Mon " 紋 ", Japanese for crest.
The only Guns that have a Cherry blossom is the Training Rifles and the North China type 30
Chrysanthemum is the Imperial Seal Of Japan. It symbolizes the Emperor and his family. The Emperor sits on the Chrysanthemum Throne.
Yes, a crest of a chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum =symbol of the emperor. @@gustavodemira7416

Just landed one 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎👍🏻✌️🏄🏼♂️👅,6.5 x50 ,dies on da way ,have a extra bolt stop cover fur the 7.7 ! . ??
I'm thinking about buying one for $240 do you think it's worth it has original stock but no airplane sites
Depends on the condition. Also, a big part of the value depends on if the Mum has been defaced. The defaced ones were surrendered after hostilities ended. The ones with intact crests were captured by a GI and brought back home with him.
$240 is pretty good if it is in good condition even with a defaced crest. They keep going up in value.
Snowball042 thanks it’s been defaced but he said it’s in pretty Good condition and it has good head spacing
@Ron Love i got one for 150
Anti aircraft sights on 7.7 x 58 are " cool " great
Back when you bought that gun which sounds like it was Around the late 70s early 80s you definitely paid to much for it. However, in 2019, a clean type 99 with an intact mum can go for up to $500 so I’d say you did alright
