Nagoya Arsenal Type 99 Short Rifle 7.7mm
SN: 66595 Bolt-Action .Rifle. Japanese WW2 Infantry Short rifle 'Series 10, Last Ditch'. Crude/rudimentary rifles built to minimum standards needed to function. Most of these rifles were still in Japan when the war ended and had the mum ground off. This one has a full mum so it is certainly a capture/bring back, quite rare. 25" barrel, front blade, fixed peep rear sights. Serial numbers match on receiver, and bolt. Wooden buttplate. Shortened handguard, etc. No channel for cleaning rod. Bore appears very good with strong rifling. Action is stiff due to dried cosmoline. Needs cleaning. A nice example of a very late Arisaka "Last Ditch". NRA Condition-Very Good. C&R firearm.
