  1. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    Hey I recently acquired an all matching type 99 Sniper rifle from Nagoya (minus the scope matching, of course), and I am having a bit of trouble trying to figuring out who the scope manufacturer was. Any help given would be appreciated!
  2. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    Recently acquired an early 37th series TJK type 99, and now currently going down the rabbit hole of information. I had to fill in a few missing parts like a cleaning rod, and really wish to complete it. I was curious to what type 30 bayonets were most commonly issued with this arsenal...

    Tokyo Juki Kogyo Series 27 both match with mums. Interesting to see the bolt change between the two.

    I recently traded an RC K98 for a type 99, please pardon the ignorance... all I know is that it was made in Tokyo arsenal, and likely towards the end of the war. While the metal and wood are finished quite hastily, the rifle feels very tight and the parts mate together well; definitely good...

    Recently picked this up from a fine gentleman. Haven't seen many intact slings like this so I thought I'd share. However It is hard as a rock and petrified to the rifle. I need to do some preservation cleaning on it and am figuring out ways to remove with the least damage possible. Any ideas...

    Bought this Arisaka at a gun show with the mum still intact. Non-matching but the previous owner stated that the markings on the stock is the unit/squad number making it very unique. Said it was possibly from the 312th division of the imperial army that fought on Iwo Jima. After much research, I...

    I'm putting this here to serve as an introduction to anyone considering hand loading for their Type 99. The biggest hinderance for new collectors shooting their Arisakas is brass + components and lack of knowledge. The video goes over how to convert common cartridge cases to 7.7 along with...

  9. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    Tested two different loads using accurate 2700 and Hornady 174 grain .311 bullets at 100 yards. I found that I had to flip the ladder sight up and use that peep in order to not shoot below the target. Planning on making a 10 shot group with that second load. I don’t have much time behind the...

    I have this rubberized canvas sling that came attached to one of my Type 99 rifles when I purchased it. My question to you all is if this sling appears to be original, and why or why not? It seems to have some sort of writing in white paint on it, but this is mostly worn off There are three...

    I picked this no series Nagoya Arsenal Type up pretty cheap because of condition. Mum in tact. I have never seen this golden color on all of the exposed bluing before. Does not look like it has been scrubbed to death and the bluing appears normal below the wood line. I used some acetone on...
