Selected up a Arisaka Kind 99 gun yesterday, the bluing is certainly pretty damn great, the share offers a critical 'become there performed that look' and the bore can be pretty good, chrome layered. Appears like the rifling might become a little vulnerable at the muzzIe. The bolt can be the only mismatched component, but it arrived with the dirt cover up, and 'wings' on the back view ( aeroplanes sights? ) The Mother is unchanged.

1. Arisaka Type 99 Rifle Serial Numbers

I was just given an Arisaka Type 99 rifle by my son, who picked it up at a garage sale. My question revolves around a serial number stamped on the left side of the receiver in arabic numbers. There is what appears to be a shield of some type before the 5 digit number and four interlocking circles following the numbers. Seems to me the number should be in Japansese characters, right? Are these importers numbers or what? Thanks for any information. Similar Threads. Type 99 late war with bayo. By bearhunter in forum Japanese Rifles. By finloq in forum M1 Garand/M14/M1A Rifles.

From what i can discover on-line, its a Tókyo Juki Kogyo manufacturing plant built gun, Series 37 i believe, the character reference online has been close up to what will be stamped on the rifle to the entrance of the serial number. Serial number will be 274XTimes ( obviously those XX are usually really numbers but i dont wish to list the entire serial amount here ) all that i could find for the build date was '1939-1945' which isnt useful! Its certainly an earlier war rifle, i simply would love to understand what 12 months it was produced if achievable. Thanks in progress for any assist or advice! Looking in Wear Voigt's book, the TJK collection 37 has been made from III'42 to 4'43. You do the math to guéstimate by the seriaI amount where it might fall in that time framework.

The 'Times's don't count number.:>) In all seriousness,I have got yet to discover where somebody has charged somebody of robbing a weapon because they listed the serial amount. In the case of some of these rifles, the complete number could end up being a element in determining certain components that were only utilized on that specific series or time period of produce. Dean (the some other one particular) (I'michael searching at page 28, 2010 model of Wear's publication). Congrats on your initial T 99, and delightful to the boards. Just be careful, they are usually recognized to end up being addictive! I transformed the Japanese fiscal yr data to date sectors for us idiot's; so when you go through the graph it is certainly completed in 'normal' diary quarters. The 37th series probably had been a 'slow' series and mfg.

Expanded more than many 100k gun series. Given the uncertainty of the information available, as directed out in the Capital t 99 book, I would suppose 27K had been reached sometimes between September 1942 and March 1943. Oh can be that why individuals put on't list all the seriaI numbers on théir guns? I had been always wanting to know what the issue had been.

I have observed a few on Gunbroker where they actually blur out the initial 3 numbers, therefore you can't also verify a year of manufacture, let by itself a month. Regards PatThe just 'true' tales of serial numbers getting abused is certainly 2nchemical hands from a couple of dealers who declare that someone bought their gun (lugers in this example), changed their mismatched components and sent it back again as not really nice sufficiently. As a former 'dealer' the alternative is obvious, you know your weapon before you send it out there and if it comes back like this, you inform them, distressing it offers been recently messed with, NO money back guarantee. On collection, it is certainly a urban misconception that you should get worried about the serial quantity, as said above, I have got never heard a correct tale of somebody declaring it has been 'theirs'. Yeah, but you have got to end up being cautious of the sIings. I saws á 99 in a GA pawn shop several years ago, it experienced a woven string or string sling. Later I told the past due Roy Cooper of Cardiff about it, he experienced a kid in GA and the son went to the pawn store bought the rifle for Roy.

The gun had been in a screen Roy acquired at a Kent show A audience appeared at the gun and told Roy, 'That gun was stolen from me, I recognize the sling.' Roy instantly informed the loudspeaker of the history of his getting the rifle and offered the gun free to the former proprietor. The lady declined stating insurance acquired compensated him even more than the rifle was worthy of and Roy should maintain the gun. I think it is today in the Blevins collection.

Arisaka Type 99 Rifle Serial Numbers

But i dont need to end up being the initial guy that some anti weapon liberal picks randomly away from of the internet to clutter with!!!Yes, fairly much weird. You will discover scores of rifles ID'd by their full serial number online; right here, on on the internet auctions, in publications, too several to count number, of training course this will be JMO and the opinion of many of us on the boards. But do what you like! It's i9000 nevertheless a very much free of charge country.

However, a incomplete serial amount is usually of little use to a researcher, therefore when you want details, you possess to give info! These 'when was is produced' queries always kinda grate on me, specifically with the T-99s.

They were only made for 5 yrs and there's an earlier to past due regression in functions so it's i9000 not that big of a offer for me certainly not has ended up. The 6.5mmichael rifles are usually a various issue since they were produced for a much longer time period of timeI agree, it certainly is definitely a little odd; the second question can be usually 'When had been it produced?'

, best after the very first query of 'What can be it?' Certain is usually a great deal of interest in the date of mfg. I'meters much even more serious in 'Where has been it used/found and by whom?'
