Hello all,
I recently traded for a Arisaka type 99 at a local gun show. The gun had some wear and tear on it, but I figured I need'd a new project. I found out that it was a 1941 Arisaka made by the Kokura Arsenal. So far I have been gathering parts for it, the gun itself has all matching numbers and is only missing a few non-critical parts. I recently (just today actually) restored the anti-aircraft sights on the gun, next is the sand guard and the monopod.
Now that I caught you up, let me ask the question. I have found that there are at least two different types of bayonet for the Arisaka. Since my Arisaka is a 1941 make, would it be issue'd a type 30 or a type 2 bayonet? I believe it would be a type 30 but I just wanted to ask around and get opinions.
Thanks!
