Low Buck De-Sporterized Type 99 Rifles

[mil-surp60]

Here are some of my low buck Arisakas that I de-sporterized. I paid from 60 to 100 each for them and had to buy a few bayonet bands. I made the forearms and handguards for all. The top one is a Nagoya series 6 serial 56XX. It has a good MUM but isn’t matching. The middle one is a Nagoya series 6 serial 56XXX. The bolt matches the receiver but the Mum is ground. It has the cylindrical type bolt handle. The bottom one is a Nagoya Series 5 serial 13XXX with a ground Mum and is non matching. What I like is they all have perfect mirror chrome bores. I know that collecting these is not everyone’s cup of tea but I can’t pass them up. I have some others that are matching with mums etc but I do like trying to save these old sporterized rifles. If you pick one up be sure to check the chambering as many were converted to 30-06 and not marked as such. I have encountered this a couple of times. A clue to this is that the feed rails will usually be opened up to accommodate the larger cartridge. Salt Flat

Nice work making those parts, you do know that the bores on those were chome lined dont you, why they are so nice.they chome lined all the later ones due to corrosion probs in pacific enviroment they were in.till they got to the last ditchers and did not have the material to chrome line them anymore. nice work man , nice looking rifles for home made wood working.cant even tell by pics.Good work.
