Arisaka Type 99 Japanese Series 4 made by Nagoya Arsenal Rifle in 7.7 Jap

This unit is a Series 4 made by Nagoya Arsenal. The "Mum" unfortunatley has been
ground off.

All numbers match on the bolt, carrier, bayonet klug and safety. Bore is sharp and bright
and unit shoots real good.

Wood has mutiple sctraches and dents as is normal for thes rifles. but no cracks.

The Type 99 is one of the strongest military bolt-action rifles ever made, but many
late-war rifles used lower quality parts, and a complete lack of finish, as well as
shortcuts taken to ease production.
The last ditch rifles are usually distinguished by their crudeness: poorly finished
stock, wooden buttplate, very obvious tooling marks in the metal, rudimentary sights
and an unfinished bolt knob and handle.
Unlike its predecessors, however, a disadvantage of the Type 99 was its increased
recoil due to its lower weight combined with a heavier cartridge.

Firing pin has been replaced. The flip-up anti-aircraft rear sights of a Type 99 rifle are
in place. The calipers on the sides are to determine the speed of the targeted
aircraft.
