Lot 17302:
Arisaka 99 Carbine 7.5x55
Introduced to service in 1939, the Type 99 was chambered for the 7.7x58mm Japanese cartridge. With a 0.312-inch bore, it was nominally a .30-caliber rifle intended to replace the 6.5×50 cartridge in Japan?s Type 38 rifle. War stress curtailed the transition, and both battled through the war. While only in service until 1945, there were some 3.5 million Type 99s manufactured. This 99 has a serial number of 7999 and is in excellent condition, showing normal signs of use and wear. Please see photos.
Condition: Very Good
