Series 27 Tokyo Juki Kogyo Type 99 Arisaka

[diss0lutus]

Hello, I'm really just a newbie here so bear with me.
I picked this up yesterday for $225 at a gun show. I saw that it had it's mum intact and was in pretty good condition which is uncommon for a later war Type 99, especially for the price that it was. I also noticed that it was a fairly uncommon manufacture when I got home and read that it's a Tokyo Juki Kogyo.
It has a low serial number, which places it in the the first 5000 that I read was made with rejected stocks.
The bolt's serial number does not match the receiver, but is a Tokyo Juki Kogyo bolt. So I am wondering if the bolt is, just like the stock and was a formerly reject bolt reused later on? If anyone else knows something I don't know about these let me know please!




A scrap piece of wood was used to fill the hole for where the cleaning rod retention button would be.

A dowel was inserted into the screw holes to fill it.

A dowel was inserted into the cleaning rod hole to fill it. The other rifle is my series 21 Kokura for comparison.

One screw sling swivel was installed in the hole for a two screw sling swivel.

The stock was originally cut for the metal buttplate.

The safety knob is of the welded variety. The other knob is from my series 21 for comparison.

The bolt knob is of the plum variety, but is very roughly finished. The nicely smoothed out bolt on the top is from my series 21 and is for comparison.

Nice buy and at a nice price. How do you know it's a Tokyo Juki bolt?

It has the arsenal symbol that Tokyo Juki Kogyo used (reminds me of a 4 leaf clover or a cloverleaf interchange viewed from above) above the serial number at the base of the bolt handle.

OK, mine has the same symbol on it. But mine is matching numbers. I think you got a really good buy on a less than common type 99. I warn you they are very addictive.

You have a Tokyo Juki Kogyo Arisaka too? Pics of it would be much appreciated.

HAHA. Yes it quite is. This is my third Arisaka and my sixth rifle I have bought and I have only been collecting for a year now!
