Few surplus rifles have been restyled as boldly as this one. The Type 99 Arisaka was a Japanese Imperial Army rifle from the Second World War, and this example, made by Miroku, has a custom modern look. The stock is a laminated-style piece with a gray and black wavy tiger-stripe pattern, finished with a rubber buttpad and sling swivels.

The seller describes a smooth bolt action chambered in 7.7mm Japanese. The receiver shows the Type 99 markings, and the rifle uses military-style iron sights with a rear ladder and front post. The barrel appears to be sporterized or shortened, which is common on imported Arisakas, and the muzzle shows typical wear for a surplus rifle. Measure the barrel when it arrives, since sporterized rifles vary.

A rifle like this appeals to shooters who want an Arisaka without the cost of an original. The Type 99 action is strong, and the 7.7mm round is a capable cartridge for deer-sized game at moderate range. Ammunition is available, though it can cost more than common calibers.

Look at the bore, the headspace, and the stock fit when it arrives. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer for the background check.
