Great pics rescue! Boy I"ll say they made em rough towards the end of the war ! Can't believe the "chatter" marks on the stock. Also the welded bands. The barrels rough finish looks similar to a 44 BYF 98k I owned for a shooter way back. Thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see how the guns progressed during the latter stages of the war.

Rough as they were, the Arisaka was the strongest action of WWII bolt guns. Towards the end of the war the Japanese did cut corners on the aesthetics of the rifles, but they were still very strong and well functioning weapons.
This one is in great shape Rescue Very nice find!

Incredible example of degraded manufacturing standards as a result of war. It cleaned up very nicely.

Wow. Ugly but a beauty at the same time.
A great find!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thank you for thee comments. The additional information I was able to find the production ended at 41,000. It is interesting to think that this was likely the last moth of production.. I did see a couple examples that still had the rope sling. I do not think this one ever had a sling applied by the crispness of the edges of the rope hole. It would be nice to find an original rope sling to go with it.

Best of luck on the rope sling. Sounds like a pretty rare item. Milsurps sure have gone up lately I have noticed. Any talk of Type 99s always bring back the memories of my friends we tried with 7.7 Norma rounds. Mentioned it before but cost of the gun in 1972 was a whopping $25 at a local LGS. Shell probably cost half of the gun back then! Again thanks for sharing a rare example.
