Rifle serial number 52393 Serial 31 This Arisaka Type 99 was manufactured at the Toyo Arsenal, Kogyo and has production Series 31 range marking. The Serial production number is in the form of a Japanese character and is before the serial number. This is important in the world of Arisaka. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the manufacture dates on Japanese rifles. Their serial numbers completely baffle me. My wife bought me this Nagoya Arisaka Type 99 for my birthday several years ago and I have done some internet research on the rifle. Then it sat in the safe for years but now I am curious to know the date of manufacture. I own a Type 99 that my father-in-law brought home from WWII. From what I have been able to determine, it is a series 20 made in the Kokura arsenal. Kokura manufactured series 20's from 1939 - 1945 and produced 100,000 series 20's. The serial number of my rifle is 55897.
I own an Arisaka Type 99 that my father-in-law brought home from WWII. If I am reading the symbology correctly, I believe that it is a series 20 made in the Kokura arsenal. From what I have been able to google, series 20's were made at Kokura from 1939 through 1945. The serial number is 55897. The Model/Type markings are generally found on the top of the receiver, forward (towards to muzzle) of the chamber and generally indicate original caliber unless modified by another country at a later date. The serial number is found on the left side of the receiver on most standard rifles. The Arsenal mark on Japanese rifles is generally found to the right of the serial number on the left.

Jan 02, 2019 The Arisaka Type 99 - Early war vs. Late war - a comparison. In recent months I have heard a GREAT MANY oft-repeated but factually wrong myths perpetuated about the Type 99 rifle and the supposedly dangerously unsafe 'last ditch' Type 99. 1500m was a nonsensical leftover from the Russo-Japanese war when area-fire machine-guns had yet to. For reference, the first Type 99 series production began at Nagoya in August, 1939. Cara download buku berbayar playstore gratis.

Japanese Arisaka Serial Number Database
Hi,
My lady has an Arisaka rifle that she inherited from an uncle who has since passed. The story I got was that the uncle had picked up the rifle while on occupation duty.
I believe that it's a Type 98, but it has VERY few markings. There's no sign of a chrysanthemum on the receiver (or any other identifying mark) nor does it seem to have been removed. The only markings I've found are '30' near where the serial number should be and 579 on the stock.
The rifle is about 50 1/2 inches long, the peep/ladder sight is graduated from 3 to 17 (no wing extensions) and the front sight is a single blade. The dust cover is still present. The stock and metalwork all appear to be well manufactured and finished.
I'm not sure of the caliber but according to my gauge, the muzzle is approximately 7mm in diameter.
I can provide pictures upon request.
Thanks,
Kit
