Offered for sale is a WWII Japanese Type 99 Arisaka 7.7x58mm bolt action rifle with dust cover. The Arisaka action might be the most underrated firearm in the Western Hemisphere. These robust rifles culminated in the Type 99, a bolt action second to none. the Arisaka Type 99 would be in the short list for best bolt action rifle of WWII given its strong locking action, excellent 7.7mm cartridge, chrome barrel, aperture sighting, light but strong stock, and superior steel. The rifle is in good condition, with use and wear present. The rifle displays a bayonet mount for a Type 30 rifle bayonet. The stock is marked with "19 072" with burned Japanese lettering and the other side of the piece marked 56. The rifle shows good condition overall with some wear due to use and age. Serial Number: No Serial Number. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
