Well since it was WW2 and fighter at that time was easier to hit with a bolt action so,... Yeah the Japanese were seriously with shot down a fighter with a bolt action. It just the problem that soldier wasn't have good experience in shoot a fighter with it so it see limited use during WW2. It was not until Vietnam War that these rifle truly effective in anti-aircraft role as NVA and NLF soldiers know how to shot a fighter jet effectively
This rifle was my favorite ever since I watched Letters From Iwo Jima as kid, for something that was made as a last ditch rifle can still be effective but have a simple and unique look was something I always loved about this.
The Type 99 was manufactured from 1939-1945. This was hardly a "last ditch" rifle, especially this one. This seems like a complete, original rifle, noted by well fitted monopod, aa sights, and dust cover indicative of early 99s. Later rifles were still quality, just issued without the extra parts like the previously noted because of metal shortage. They are often confused with the training rifles, which fired a lower power cartridge. If you load multiple full power loads into a training rifle, it will do the boom. It was easy to confuse these rifles, which gave the rise to the "last ditch rifles blow up" rumor.
Not much that can be done for the wood. Sandpaper is just removing gun for the sake of aesthetics. As-is is technically better condition than refinished
@@TenaciousTrilobite You NEVER want to sand Japanese rifles anyways, the oil they used is highly cancerous to breathe in and I think somewhat poisonous. Some kind of sumac if I remember right.
@@TenaciousTrilobite mine is a 23rd series kokura production. it is early in the series and has ware marks of both monopod and dust cover use. near the end of series 23 they would be phased out.
Curious question. My local shop has 3 different Arisaka's on the floor for sale. one of them has the airplane sights, and the flower symbol not shaved off on it. But between the 3 of them, is it normal for the bolt to be kind of sticky or stiff feeling? Is it also normal that when you open the bolt with no rounds in the rifle, that the plate that pushes the rounds up holds the bolt open and needs to be pushed down in order to close the bolt. Also, is it normal that the bolt is kind of "stiff" feeling, and when you push it almost all the way closed it hits this "wall" where it requires extra force to push the bolt in all the way so you can cycle the bolt handle down? All 3 Type 99's I held were like this, the bolts just seemed stiff, and had this "wall" near the end of their travel closing them where I couldn't figure out why I couldn't put the bolt back down until I realized I had to push harder to push it all the way forwards.
The bolt shouldn't be super stiff. Probably needs a good cleaning. The follower is intended to lock the bolt open on empty. This is so the soldier would know when they were out without needing to constantly keep count. The stiff feeling when you push it forward at the end is the rifle cocking the firing pin. That happens on all "cock-on-close" rifles, including all Lee-Enfields, the US M1917, and all Mausers adopted before the German 1898 (Spanish, Belgian, Argentine, Swedish, etc).
@@TenaciousTrilobite Ah, so sounds like it was pretty normal to me then. I definitely might pick one up. I figure the bolts probably need cleaning, but this would be a first Arisaka for me. Thanks
i think westerner also see ww2 small arms from the east are "bad" because of it smaller/underpowered caliber round it use, although keep in mind that asian people are small and they dont need 303, 308 or 8 mm to effectively shot other asian who are way smaller/shorter than any european people. similar debate also happen on longsword vs katana where 1 of the point is katana are to short compare to long sword but they tend to forgot that japanese people are shorter so giving them longer sword that harder to draw are just stupid.
A lot of training tools not meant for real food, but able to have it put in, got brought to US when GIs went home. The result of that combo is unpleasant.
9/10 no bayonet. In all seriousness I love all the weirdness of this rifle. From the floppy useless monopod to the wacky anti aircraft sight to the noisy clang of the dust cover.
@@Erofer92 It's really flimsy and bends easily, it was certainly not useful for stabilizing the rifle for firing. They stopped putting them on rifles after about 2 years as well.
@@alexvisser5913 The normal length Type 99 falls under the general “short rifle” classification. Somewhere between a long rifle and a carbine. There is such a thing as a Type 99 long rifle as well, but not as many were made as the short rifle.
Neat! I don’t remember off hand. Do you know what series it is? Should be a Japanese character in a circle to the left of your serial. You can look that up to figure out roughly when it was made. Mine is a “4th series” Nagoya made some time in 1943
If I am correct about the Japanese discarding their dustcovers for it being too loud, is a myth, and all you need to do is just squeeze it a bit and the rattling will stop
Correct, they did not discard the dust covers in the field. Squeezing with your hands is not enough, and it only fixes the sideways rattle. The front-to-back rattle cannot be easily fixed. This was not originally an issue since the dust covers were fitted and numbered to the rifles
I have to wonder why they kept building those anti-air sights in 1943, no way you'd shoot down a bomber or even a low flying fighter with massed rifle fire
Not really. They’re actually very strong actions. They gained that reputation because a significant number of training rifles only designed to handle blanks were brought home and people loaded live rounds in them.
@@TenaciousTrilobite I hear you but it's also important to the family, has fully matching parts and an intact chrysanthemum. Not really comfortable risking it.
@@TLDelapore The rifle isn't going to blow up, especially with modern ammo. It was designed to fire even hotter ww2 ammo, many thousands of rounds at that. But it's up to you what you do with it.
@@justpeople9439 A 15 is four fifty to 47's seven hundred. Of course 15s are really cheap here and we've got plenty of 47s.

To keep dirt, mud, and other debris out of the action
