Item Description: I am helping my neighbor sell her late father's World War II bring back rifle:
a Japanese Arisaka type 99 in the most common length --44 inch overall length with approximately a 27 inch barrel. Chambered in the 7.7 Japanese caliber, and comes with a few rounds of modern soft point commercial ammo
The rifle has an early type 30 bayonet and scabbard. Bayonet has a hooked quillon. The blade is scarred from use around the yard as a machete, and it looks like somebody tried to sharpen it with a rotary tool and had the spinning abrasive disc jump up away from the cutting edge a few times .
This rifle does have the anti-aircraft folding ears on the rear sight, and the front sight has the protective ears /guards around it although one is bent on one side.
The imperial mum has been somewhat defaced by hand tools, which to me is the most desirable kind because it indicates it was defaced in the field by the soldier to which it was issued before the soldier abandoned it and or surrendered this rifle. It was not one of the ones that was collected postwar, stacked in a building for weeks, and then professionally modified with power tools by people who just did that all day long, grinding off the chrysanthemums. The veteran who brought this back from World War II told his family that it was taken --not by him but by other soldiers who served with him-- from a surrendering Japanese soldier.
This rifle does not have a monopod nor is there any dust cover or mud guard over the receiver. (Japanese soldiers usually got rid of those themselves because they rattled and made noise.)
I did not yet have time to study all the arsenal and production marks; I don't think my camera could capture them all very clearly anyway. I just did sketch them out on a piece of paper several times the actual size! See pic. The symbols on each side of the guns serial number, from the left side of the receiver, are shown. The Japanese characters however come from the top of the receiver just below the mum.
If you want to meet to look at the rifle you can try to figure that out (which arsenal, which inspector passed it, which variation, etc.)

Terms: Local face-to-face sales only.
$575 for the rifle and bayonet and scabbard. Cash, no electronic payments.
There's a rifle just like this but without any bayonet being offered for sale at a gun shop in Kennesaw for $870.
PS: Nobody alive in this family has ever fired the rifle. The father of the family, the World War II vet who died back around 2010 or so, hadn't shot it himself since the 1970's. I recently shot the rifle at 100 yards from the prone position and it did great. My last three shots were all tens, in a group that you could cover with a tennis ball.
That's as good as I've ever done with any military rifle with iron sights including a 1903-A3 Springfield, a Mosin 91-30, a German K98 Mauser, and a Spanish 1916 Mauser.
