HISTORY: The type 99 is the last of the ''Arisaka'' rifles. Simplified by Kijiro Nambu further & adopted in 1939, it was the most advance & state of the art bolt action rifle of its time. It was the first military rifle to have a chrome lined bore which really helped in the humid jungle climates & corrosive ammo destroying bores. The stock had water drain holes like the type 38. They went to a universal short rifle instead of a long rifle & carbine (very early production rifles were long rifles), & switched to a 7.7mm caliber from the 6.5mm. This was done because a few years prior they adopted a new machine gun in the new 7.7 round & wanted to standardize their ammo. The Japanese wanted to increase long range firepower & effectiveness of their machineguns since the 6.5mm ammo was lacking in that category. The Japanese looked at the British machine guns they had in .303 British, they then took inspirations from that & made the 7.7mm Japanese. A nice example of a battle worn, early production type 99 rifle. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 200 to 400
