I would tend to beleive this though as the japs were replacing the type 38 in favor of the type 99 in a different caliber. just type 38s and some older models like the type 66 i think they said. I have seen some numbers on my tour of google u as you would say and there were no type 99s listed as sold to the thai or siamese. So the jury is still out on this one, but I'm hoping that I might have stumbled onto something pretty cool!ĭesdem12 wrote:Don't take my word on it but there was awhole thread about guys faking the type 91 out of type 99s. There are no marks to indicate that it is a Thai Army or Police rifle though. I can't imagine why anybody would want to fake a Siamese Police/Army T91 rifle though.Īnd on that link, they are saying that the Police T91's had straight bolts and the Army t91's had bent bolts. Still, basically it's exactly the same though.

#SROCK FOR TYPE 99 ARISAKA PLUS#
Plus mine looks a lot more hacked up and unfinished compared to the one in the link above. The information online on these is kind of sparse. Supposedly the Thais cut down T99's after WWII and stuck them on surplus M1 Carbine stocks or put T38's on M1 Carbine stocks (the one in the link above is a T38 I think, since it's got two gas vent holes). I just did some studying at the University of Google and found this. I think this may be an T91 Police/Army Royal Siamese or Thai rifle. I couldn't figure out why in the hell, somebody would cram an Arisaka receiver/barrel/trigger assembly into an M1 Carbine stock. But be aware that it is really hacked up.
#SROCK FOR TYPE 99 ARISAKA FOR FREE#
By the way, I have a totally hacked up M1 Carbine stock that anybody can have for free if they want it for some unknown reason. I wonder why on Earth anybody would put an Arisaka on a freaking M1 Carbine stock. This one doesn't have any holes for a mount drilled in the receiver, but I'll check the length of the bolt. If it is a sniper, only way to really know is length of bolt handle, the true blue sniper bolt had a slightly longer handle when compared to normal Type 99s. Sad thing is this same rule is why most all sporter Arisakas have bent handles as well. Most all T-99, and 97 sniper rifles did indeed have bent bolt handles to allow for clearance of the scope. You may get the value, but it's not an original if you go down that path. You may get even get lucky and find some one who did a sporter job and have one floating around.

But I need help since I'm ignorant.Īt this point I'd mainly like to know if it is possible for a bent bolt to be correct for this rifle? If it is by some miracle then I'll probably order the barrel next.Īny advice, information, or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Numrich has a barrel for it, and if the bent bolt is incorrect they have the bolt too.Īt this point I know that I would be spending well over what the rifle is worth, but I'd really like to take my time and bit by bit restore this frankenrifle back to what it should be. As usual, I know little to nothing about these rifles. The bolt is bent too, so unless there is such thing as an Arisaka ex-sniper or something, it doesn't look like it's going to be a cheap, quick restoration. The price on the Numrich site was 142.00, but they're sold out. If the barrel has not been cut on that rifle it's a prime candidate for restoration, the metal is great.
