sekiryu Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Tanaka has an Arisaka Type 99, gas rifle for sale out in Japan now. Appears to have real wood, and is only ~$288. *working on translation of text* Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I wonder how its gonna stack against the Kar98 Link to post Share on other sites
Yeager Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Any idea if Realsteel stocks will fit? Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Well, can't make sense of the Japanese with my First Year grammar....something about the Emperial Army, brave warriors, front line troops, skirmishers, flowers, and scattering...... Probably won't know about the real stocks until someone tries it. I doubt they wouldn't fit. $288 doesn't sound bad--how much was their Kar98, like $350-ish? Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hey, something Japense that I actually like sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
Munitions Man Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 wait!? $288!? I must have it! If it's good that is. I've been waiting along time for an Arisaka to come out for a long time. Just love that bolt action, smooth. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it P.C.S., or restricted? Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 If it was spring then i would be more excited but it still sounds good 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
EvilCookie Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 $288? You sure about that price? The K98 is usually around $500 +/- $50. If its true, thats a really nice price then. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 that may just be the Japan price- airsoft stuff is always priced differently for japanese-made stuff in japan, versus the export tagline. Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ooops, it's actually $572 There was an extra 8 in the Yen price that I missed Link to post Share on other sites
RzezniQ Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 That really makes a difference. Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 yummy, even comes with the monopod, maybe they replicated the anti-aircraft sights as well ;-) finally, a type99 that you won't have to bend over backwards to find ammo for. Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I wonder how long it will take people to get used to the straight bolt handle Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it P.C.S., or restricted? Ben. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any Japanese gas guns manufactured after the 2006 Japanese FPS law are restricted (Unless they are export only versions). So yes this one is restricted too.

sekiryu Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 That doesn't mean you can't use Green Gas and get higher veloicty. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 that, unfortunately, is more like it Link to post Share on other sites
blokhed Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ouch. Looks beautiful, though. It's nice having some news about something other than a "new" Glock or M4. Link to post Share on other sites

sekiryu Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 So if you try to use green gas, it'll blow up in your face? Link to post Share on other sites
The End Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 why would anyone want a replica of a horrible real steel gun? that gun as I recall was pretty bad compared to western contemps of the time.... Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 *looks at pictures of so many L85A1 airsoft owners* I thought the only bad thing about the Arisaka was the dustcover on the bolt. Link to post Share on other sites
