Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 321:
Up Next We Have a Rare Nagoya Arsenal Arisaka Type 2 Takedown Bolt Action Paratrooper Rifle From WWII. Manufactured by the Nagoya Arsenal, the Type 2 was a specialized takedown variant of the Type 99 Arisaka for issue to paratroopers. As Japanese parachute technology made jumping with a full-sized rifle impractical the Type 2 would be carried disassembled and then snapped together on landing. Fitted with an inverted "V" front sight and folding ladder rear sight with A-A wings, standard receiver markings, matching "983" assembly number on the takedown hardware. Metal Buttplate, bayonet lug and Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock. Overall Great War Condition.
