Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics.
I wouldn't mind a new manufacture WASR but with a slant brake and wood furniture. I love the old Soviet look.
Better pictures...

Finally got the howa mounted in a new Boyds thumb hole today, no light weight but feels pretty good in the shoulder.

Picked up another of these on trademe
Why has the barrel got a drain pipe on it?
Using an AR on rats indoors is generally taken to be a bit overkill :XD:Quote:

Japanese Type 99 Arisaka Rifles from WW2:
#1. Series 1 Type 99, 7.7x58mm, made by the Nagoya Arsenal in Aichi. This one has the royal chrysanthemum intact, all matching, and has some battle damage... if only it could talk...
Story goes, this was picked up by a RNZAF ground crewman in the Soloman Islands.

What's the story behind grinding off the markings?
Very cool, have you watched M.A.C. videos on the Arisakas? I found them really interesting, particularly as I know next to nothing about the rifles.Quote:

Indeed I have, I'm a big fan of the MAC. They make some great content. I'm glad you find them interesting, they're not talked about too often.
My understanding is that the emblem was ground off surrendered weapons at the end of WW2, likely by order of Gen McArthur. The royal chrysanthemum was the symbol of the Imperial Family, and was ground off by either US troops/Japanese to save face, handing over a rifle with the chrysanthemum intact was considered a 'dishonour' to the emperor. Rifles with them intact are generally accepted to be battlefield pickups.Quote:

Upon surrender of the Imperial Government, the chrysanthemum (symbol of the Emperor) was ground off. Anything with the 'mum was property of the Empire and was not to fall into foreign hands. As a sign of respect for the Emperor, Allied Forces allowed them to remove to 'mum, thus not insulting the Royal Family.Quote:

Are you in the US or NZ? Type 99's are pretty hard to get in NZ, US they are plentiful.
Brass has been very easy to find here, have around 300 cases.

So I've had a play with my rifle and think it's ready to go.
