Need for speed payback key generator free download. Offered for sale is a WWII Japanese Type 99 Arisaka 7.7x58mm bolt action rifle. The Arisaka action might be the most underrated firearm in the Western Hemisphere. These robust rifles culminated in the Type 99, a bolt action second to none.

  • SERIAL NUMBER: 49305 DESIGN: This Japanese Type 99 WWII infantry rifle has a 26' barrel and is chambered for the 7.7 Jap round. Manufactured at Nagoya arsenal. The bolt does not match the receiver and the mum has been completely ground off. Flip-up ear sight without wings. Steel butt plate. Cleaning rod and monopod missing.
  • Initially, Japanese industry was incapable of producing a weapon that could withstand the shock of firing the heavier 7.7mm round; however, after several different design trials the Army adopted both a new 7.7mm cartridge and a rifle that had a more forceful recoil but was as efficient with its cartridges as the rifles fired by Chinese forces.
  • The long rifles were made in 1939. All the Japanese rifles, both type 38s and 99s were made in 'series.' The serial number of any Japanese rifle will never be more than 99,999, because they changed the series number signified by the kana or alphabet figure in front of the number and started over at '1'. Therefore yours at 86000 is late series 30.
Greetings!
A friend of my dad’s recently passed away. His widow has a Japanese Type 99 rifle I am interested in buying. As best I can tell it is a matching 6th series Nagoya with intact mum, and aircraft sights, no dust cover.
The stock has the standard complement of dings, scratches, and character gouges you would expect to find on a common condition Arisaka. The rifle is covered in a layer of dust and cannot even see down the bore as it is full of cobwebs. Some of the blue metal finish is there under the dust but much of it is a brown patina now.
I want to buy it from her fair, but not hurt myself either. I need a type 99 for my collection. I would like to use it to shoot for vintage military matches if the bore turns out to be decent, but I don’t want to sink a ton of money in it if it is not.
I have some numbers in mind but wanted to put it out there to gain a general consensus from you guys in order to confirm my thoughts.
I know you cannot see this rifle to give a qualified value, and it is kind of a pig-in-a-poke not being able to ascertain the condition of the bore, but given that; what is your general gut feeling of what I should offer her?
I need to make her an offer tomorrow. Thanks in advance for your help.
