Nagoya Type 99 Short Rifle 7.7mm SN:17899
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 is dark/rough. Action is smooth. Upper stock is loose. Milled barrel. There is a very faint X on the mum, barely noticeable. A period tan canvas sling with metal buckle, and leather keeper, there are 4 faint Japanese charters stamped on it. Also included is a very good conditioned 15" Arisaka bayonet w/scabbard. National Denki under Kokura supervision arsenal marked. A nice example of a very late Arisaka "Last Ditch". NRA Condition-Good. C&R Firearm.
