Had a pretty good week on Gunbroker, jumped on two "buy it now" bargains from sellers that didn't quite know what they had. The first, and best deal arrived today. It's an original Arisaka Type 99 Sniper made at the Nagoya Arsenal. Through dumb luck I came across it just 3 minutes after it was listed. The seller simply had it listed as an Arisaka 99, but a quick review revealed the great find that it is. in addition to the obvious scope mount on the left side of the receiver, the snipers were numbered with SNs and arsenal mark on the bridge of the receiver rather than the left side like other Type 99s. It has a defaced mum and mismatched bolt (although surprisingly it's a correct sniper bolt with the factory extended, bent handle), but on the upside the screws are all still staked and it's basically an 'out of the attic' find. Stole this one at $200 Now the search for an original 4x scope begins (although it will probably end up costing me $2k).
