Nice rifle the peep sights are factory set at 300 meters with the ladder sight going to 1500 meters and the aircraft wings read from inside edge 100-200-300 mph for speed of aircraft. Just happened to be looking on E-bay last night and there were plenty of 99 parts for sale, they even have reproduction dust covers now along with a few original ones.

I’ve actually bee thinking it’s about time I look for a monopod again, thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry Not long before I bought my rifle the pawn shop had what you wanted a last ditch type 99 it had two nails hammered into the stock a rope in place of the sling the barrel had no bayonet lug it did have front and rear sights but the back sight was welded on it was also made by kokura arsenal. Really hope you find one. Got to see a real Thompson submachine for the first time and probably the last time I will see one! The crysantam was the signature of the emperor they were removed either before being captured or after have heard that the Japanese soldiers were allowed to remove the crysantam before turning them over before surrendering.

Nice video as always. Thank you for the education.

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

And thank you for watching!

Believe or not, T99's dust cover is actually little bit shorter than T38's. I bought a dust cover for my 38 several months ago and it turned out to be a T99's cover and I couldn't close the action. By the way, try a T38 carbine or T44. They are awesome to shoot with and short enough to carry with you in the bush. Nice video.

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

Oh I mean to get both as soon as possible! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry How do you compare the recoil on japanese 7,7 to other milsurp calibers? Of course the rifle by desing and weight must be on par with other counterparts so how does it feels to shoot?

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

I was actually fairly surprised by how light the recoil is compared to other .30 Cal cartridges (or close to .30) 8mm Mauser and .30-06 for instance I’d say are quite a bit harsher. I’ll definitely be commenting on this in future Vs. videos as this gun will be pitted against the Enfield, Sprg. 03a3, and Kar98k and more

@pantheonauxilia 3 года назад

@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry Nice. How is the action. Is it smooth aswell.. as smooth as milsurps goes:D but here in Finland we have a quite a lot of Arisakas for sale due to the history. Might just pick one for the history and shooting pleasentry.

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

I’d say it’s on the stiffer end of the spectrum, perhaps smoother than a Russian M91/30 but stiffer than a Finnish M39 (kudos to the Finns from the 20s-40s on making the Mosin into a nice rifle)

@Mike-tw1pi 3 года назад

I believe the rope-hole rifles can be found in Nagoya Series 12 and late Series 11, and - I think - late Series 27 by Tokyo Juki Kogyo. A very late Nagoya example would be a nice bookend with your nice early Nagoya...it would really show how basic they got in manufacturing them.

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

Indeed it would be! Hopefully I get to pick one up in the not too distant future

@kawashimaarisaka2682 3 года назад

Oh, and for firing pin, Japanese rifles may strong for everything else, but their firing pins are Achilles' Heel. They are pretty prone. I had a T38 with a broken firing pin before and I spent over $100 to get a spare one.And unlike Mosins or some other common surplus, they are harder to find. Also, no company produces a T99/T38 snap caps. So better to make 1 or 2 snap caps by using the spare brass.

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

Definitely something I need to do, probably pick up an extra firing pin if I can find one

@GenericShirtNinja 3 года назад

Just out of curiosity but have you cut down one of those trees by shooting alone lol?

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

Actually yes lol, it’s been a while though and it was a pretty small tree

@51WCDodge 3 года назад

Funny , if you'd , mentioned World war 1. you'd have had an Allied rifle. The Royal Navy were issued Arisaks, and the British straight copied the bayonet, but later ditched the Quilion.

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 года назад

Yes indeed! I think I may have mentioned that in the Type 38 demo but if not I’ll have to squeeze it in somewhere
