Know your Rifle!

We recommend this book to anyone who owns one of the Arisaka rifles or is interested in its history and development.

The Arisaka family of Japanese military bolt-action service rifles was first issued in 1897, when it replaced the Murata series of rifles, until the end of the Second World War II in 1945. The most common specimens include the Type 38 chambered for the 6.5×50mmSR Type 38 cartridge and the Type 99 chambered for the 7.7×58mm Type 99 cartridge, which was comparable to a modern .308 round. Soldiers brought thousands of Type 99s and other Arisaka variants to the United States as war trophies during and after World War II.

Find out about the part played by the rifle's namesake Colonel Arisaka and learn about this esteemed battle rifle's fascinating history and evolution. This book covers the following Arisaka rifles and carbines built at several factories in Japan and China:
