r/Arisaka

Behold, I have an early war type 99 Japanese rifle all matching with mum! This rifle is approximately a Nagoya Arsenal Second Variation rifle. The stock has its usual Nagoya mark cartouches for that time. This rifle has a really good bore. Note the monopod left its mark near the muzzle. All picked up for about 670$ including transfer fees.

Sadly, it didn’t have its cleaning rod or dust cover. I plan on getting the bayonet, monopod, sling, and dust cover for it.

ordered what I thought to be a type 38 stock and trigger guard housing to finish up a project rifle. What I received will not fit a Type 38 receiver, barrel, or trigger housing. From some Google research I think it could possibly be a Type I Carcano stock…. Can anyone confirm? Pics 3-6 compared to the broken take off Type 38 stock.

This was my first Type 38, ever. I’ve owned better ones since and learned a lot. Just looking through old pics and hope I can learn from the experts. I feel like that rear site (anti aircraft wings) was a fantasy piece put on this 38 as I’ve never encountered another. Thoughts?

Edited to say, I’m sure the wings could’ve been legit wartime production, but for a 99 not a 38. I’ve just never seen another 38 with these.. ever.

Hello. I recently purchased a Type 99 Nagoya Arisaka. No mum all matching. The series marking it worn on the receiver and I’m wondering what series it is. My best guess is series 7. Any help is appreciated thanks!

Thanks in advance! I received this Arisaka from a deceased uncle... Kinda. Aunt found it in a closet and gave it to my brother. My brother has a true bring back from the other side of the family and thought I'd enjoy cleaning it up. My dad thinks it may have been a wall hanger from my great grandfather. I literally know nothing beside it being a type 99. Figured I'd attempt to gather info about before I start disassembly and cleaning.

Edit: You guys are awesome and it's greatly appreciated!

Looks like I may be spending some time and money to get it as complete as I can. Any good sources on misc parts? I just did the same with a Mosin I received from another uncle who passed.

Picked this up for $385 at a pawn shop in Macon, GA while out of town (for context I live in SC). For all intents and purposes it’s an all matching Koshikawa T38 Carbine. I figured the price was good especially considering it still has the mum. It does have a really odd assembly number considering it is a Kanji prefix followed by a 2 digit number. I ran this by a buddy of mine who is a bit of an Arisaka know it all and he wasn’t sure what it was. What say ye, gentlemen?
