*SOLD* Arisaka Type 2 "Paratrooper" (Temple)
Re: FS: Arisaka Type 99 "Paratrooper" (Temple)
WOW, that’s nice. I wish I could. I have three WWII era rifles. Two American and one Brit. That one would be great and I know where a nice K98 is, but he’s unwilling to sell it yet. I don’t have to $$$ to buy it yet either, but hopefully when he’s ready to sell I will.I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Serious suggestion....
Have you considered contacting either Tim at Military Arms Channel or Ian at Forgotten Weapons to see if either of them would be interested in buying? I know that Tim has an interesting Arisaka collection, but to the best of my recollection, has never mentioned a Type 99 Paratrooper; and this kind of variant of a rifle is exactly the sort of thing that would be right up Ian's alley. Either or both would be knowledgeable enough to offer a fair price if they were interested. More importantly, either of them would offer it a good home, and teach others about it.
Just a thought.

I haven’t considered that. If I can’t find a local buyer after a while, I’ll send them a note.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You’re certainly welcome. It had simply occurred to me that this is probably a rare but historically significant rifle. A museum type of collection would be a good place for it. Is it a 6.5 or a 7.7mm?

Information updated. Price is “or best offer”, just no trades.
