WW2 Japanese Type 99 Arisaka chambered in 7.7 Jap w/ Intact Mum ** Kokura Arsenal Series 21 **

Description:
Here is a nice World War 2 Japanese Type 99 rifle with intact mum manufactured by the Kokura Arsenal in Japan. The Arisaka Type 99 was Japan's main battle rifle for most of World War 2, a shorter and more powerful model than the Type 38 rifle they started the war with that was chambered in the 6.5 Japanese cartridge. The original blue finish is still mostly intact but has developed a nice brown-blue patina with scattered areas of wear and thinning.  The factory-stamped mum on the top of the chamber is fully intact and has not been defaced in any way.  The chrome-lined bore is excellent in this Type 99, with nice sharp rifling and no visible imperfections.  The whole rifle has a fantastic "combat worn" look to it. This Series of Type 99 originally would have included a monopod attached to the rear barrel band but this rifle does not include one. As seen in the provided pictures, there is very little wear on the rear barrel band or stock where the monopod would have been attached, almost as if it was removed in the field by a soldier or armorer. The rifle is all matching besides the bolt assembly which is very common for captured rifles of World War 2. The stock is in good shape overall and shows wear and tear consistent with an issued and battle-used Japanese military rifle.  All of the stock hardware, barrel bands, and buttplate is intact and in great shape, including the original cleaning rod. All of the controls on this rifle are in perfect working order, and the action is smooth and precise.  The bolt turns into battery perfectly and the trigger breaks nicely without being too heavy or gritty like many we have encountered. This Type 99 also features the "Aircraft" sights but the spring of the left sight wing is missing.
