Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This Japanese Arisaka bolt-action rifle is a non-functional example of one of the most historically significant military rifles of the early 20th century. While the exact model and caliber of this rifle remain unidentified, it shares many characteristics common to the Type 38 and Type 99 series, such as a 31-inch blued barrel, blade front sight with an adjustable rear, and a smooth hardwood stock indicative of standard military configuration. These rifles, originally developed under the direction of Colonel Arisaka Nariakira, were widely issued to the Imperial Japanese Army during both World Wars and are known for their remarkable strength and reliability under harsh battlefield conditions. However, this particular rifle is currently non-functional and is missing its trigger guard, a critical component necessary for safe and operable use. Due to its condition, it is strongly recommended that a qualified gunsmith inspect the rifle before any attempt is made to repair, restore, or handle it beyond display purposes. While it remains a potentially valuable piece for collectors of military history, especially those interested in Japanese World War II firearms, its collectibility and historical integrity would be significantly enhanced by the restoration of missing parts and confirmation of the model and caliber. Until then, this Arisaka stands as a reminder of both the robust engineering of wartime Japan and the importance of proper care and evaluation of historical firearms.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
