You could make 7.7x58 case from 270Win or 30-06, those are fudge challenge for person who not get use to this type of project.
Preload ammo 150gr FMJ around $25-30 for 20 Rds in most of suppliers. Rifling twist is 9-3/4" on 22" length barrel, I mean most of 150gr to 210gr boolit will steady on the air by this twist rate.ĭown point of 7.7x58 (7.7mm Jap) cartridge or empty cases are may cost you, I paid about $60 for 50 Rds of Norma brand new cases. Most of Type 99 has chrome plated bore, except latest "Last Ditch version" so no issue on bore condition, I use lube/sizer press still for just add lube and GCs seating purpose. 314 which just same size as mold drop off, 313 on my type 99, cast boolit sizing to. (Yes pattern, not specific shot grouping) with original military open sight & trigger. W231 fast burn powder (10.7gr) will push MV 1270fps.ġ00 yards bench rest shoot by 40 years old sloppy eye vision, still make 2" grouping pattern, Using Lyman 314299 cast boolit (200gr RN) with cheap scrap wheel weight. Kokura is city name where part of south end of west island. Series 22 (23?) Kokura arsenal, many folks say Tokyo arsenal but they relocate after earth quake in Tokyo,
My Type 99 has deep grind off Mum, unmatched serial number on bolt assy. Type 38 or early rifles are NOT interchangeable main firing relate parts, some miner adjustment necessary for safe shooting purpose.Īrisaka action is strongest in the world at WWI to WWII military bolt-action rifles, which proofed by NRA test report around 1950's. Which mean no problem to interchange parts without adjustment by gunsmith. If your Arisaka has anti aircraft rear sight (with both wings) should be build around 1942 to 1943 or early, depend on which arsenal to been build.įor more detail Even serial number did not matching, $200 is fair price to me.įrom Type 99, old Japanese production quality & parts standard was reach to the world industrial level, I paid $40 for mine (original), but that was 15 years ago. Type 30 reproduction bayonet price now around $50, I’m not sure original price in today. Original bayonet (Japanese type 30 bayonet) price jump up so far, just like US M4 bayonet ($75 to 125) Which depend on your rifle production era.
You could buy reproduction Cleaning Rod ($8-12 full length 23” or 4” short version some late rifle)Īnd Monopod ($35 without rear band, $60 with rear band) Most of west coast states fairly put Arisaka rifle price $175 to $350 for that condition. I'm living in California and $200 is reasonable price around this area. I got my Arisaka Type99 about same price in several weeks ago at local gun show, but without bayonet.
