Arisaka Type 99 7.7mm SN: 56303
Sporterized Japanese military bolt-action rifle with non-detachable box magazine, hinged floor plate, Lyman rear receiver sight, 24" barrel, forged bent bolt handle, and checkered hardwood stock. Bolt handle number matches serial number on receiver. Made at Nagoya Arsenal, Series 8. Metal has some light pitting and surface rust with small dings on the barrel. Bluing has also been worn to an almost silver color in places. Front ramp sight is an add-on. There is a unique bolt-lock safety on the right rear side of the receiver which has a small stud of steel which will fit into a hole drilled in the back of the bolt handle root just before the bolt goes into battery.. The bore is frosty with worn rifling. The stock has sling swivels, a Pachmayr recoil pad, 4 checkered panels and a tiny compass set into the comb of the stock. There is no cheek rest. The finish is worn through to the wood in spots and there are many dings, rubs and scrapes. The letters "FJD" are on the bottom of the pistol grip. Condition is fair. *Modern Firearm C&R*
