From the Vault: Type 99 Japanese Arisaka
This "From the Vault" video features Brownells GunTech Keith Ford providing an overview of the collectible Type 99 Japanese Arisaka rifle. Ford discusses its design by Colonel Arisaka Nariakira, its use by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, and its key features like the wire monopod and anti-aircraft sight. The description also mentions the rifle was chambered in 7.7x58mm and produced in four variants: Short, Long, Paratroop, and Sniper, noting that late-war "last ditch" models are characterized by crude manufacturing and poor finishes. The video invites viewer suggestions for future "From the Vault" features.
