Supposedly the Thais cut down T99's after WWII and stuck them on surplus M1 Carbine stocks or put T38's on M1 Carbine stocks (the one in the link above is a T38 I think, since it's got two gas vent holes). I just did some studying at the University of Google and found this. I think this may be an T91 Police/Army Royal Siamese or Thai rifle. I couldn't figure out why in the hell, somebody would cram an Arisaka receiver/barrel/trigger assembly into an M1 Carbine stock. But be aware that it is really hacked up.
#TYPE 99 ARISAKA SNIPER FOR FREE#
By the way, I have a totally hacked up M1 Carbine stock that anybody can have for free if they want it for some unknown reason. I wonder why on Earth anybody would put an Arisaka on a freaking M1 Carbine stock. This one doesn't have any holes for a mount drilled in the receiver, but I'll check the length of the bolt. If it is a sniper, only way to really know is length of bolt handle, the true blue sniper bolt had a slightly longer handle when compared to normal Type 99s. Sad thing is this same rule is why most all sporter Arisakas have bent handles as well. Most all T-99, and 97 sniper rifles did indeed have bent bolt handles to allow for clearance of the scope. You may get the value, but it's not an original if you go down that path. You may get even get lucky and find some one who did a sporter job and have one floating around.

But I need help since I'm ignorant.Īt this point I'd mainly like to know if it is possible for a bent bolt to be correct for this rifle? If it is by some miracle then I'll probably order the barrel next.Īny advice, information, or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Numrich has a barrel for it, and if the bent bolt is incorrect they have the bolt too.Īt this point I know that I would be spending well over what the rifle is worth, but I'd really like to take my time and bit by bit restore this frankenrifle back to what it should be. As usual, I know little to nothing about these rifles.
The bolt is bent too, so unless there is such thing as an Arisaka ex-sniper or something, it doesn't look like it's going to be a cheap, quick restoration. The price on the Numrich site was 142.00, but they're sold out. If the barrel has not been cut on that rifle it's a prime candidate for restoration, the metal is great. The rifle is fitted with an original WWII Japanese canvas sling.Etprescottazusa91 wrote:I've seen websites where new stocks are actually manufactured in Japan for restoration in the states, not cheap though. It is marked on top with "2.5 x 10/inverted triangle inside a circle, (manufacturers code)/99 No.2578". As noted, it comes with the correct style Type 99 cutback scope. The underside of the stock has two Nagoya Army Arsenal inspection marks, with no drain hole in front of the trigger guard and a cupped sheet metal buttplate. It is fitted with its original hardwood stock and handguard with a matching numbered front barrel band, unnumbered middle band and front band with finger grooves on the sides. It has the standard front and rear sights without anti-aircraft wings. It is fitted with its complete matching original bolt assembly that is numbered on the underside "994" with a matching extractor, firing pin, and safety.

The rear ring is stamped with the symbol for the Nagoya Army Arsenal over serial number "6994". The chrysanthemum has been removed from the receiver ring however, the Kana markings (for Type 99) remain. The scope are also identified by the fact that they have a larger 1/4 inch rear edge on the scope mount (to fit the base), and the top of the tube is correctly marked "99". This was done before they introduced the newly developed 4x sniper scope. The rear edge of the has been cutback 1/4 of an inch so that the Nagoya Arsenal could use up the old style 2.5x sniper scope from the Type 97 production. They very rare to find today as most were destroyed after the war, and they can be identified by the type of sniper scope base fitted the receiver.
#TYPE 99 ARISAKA SNIPER SERIES#
This series of sniper rifles was produced on an extremely limited basis with only approximately 2,500 produced in total in the 5000-7500 serial number block. The Type 99 fired the larger, heavier 7.7 mm bullet. The Type 99 rifle was adopted in 1939 as a replacement for the previous Type 38, 6.5 mm rifles. This is a solid representative example of a very rare mid-WWII production Japanese type 99 "cutback" sniper, fitted with a 2.5x sniper scope.
