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, untouched mum, matching "543" assembly number on the takedown hardware, and matching serial number on the underside of the barrel, bayonet lug and bolt components. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock. Included with the rifle is a green plastic muzzle cover, a brown leather sling, and a paratrooper-style bayonet (9 3/4" overall, 5 1/4" blade, smooth wood grip, trimmed-down guard) with sheath and frog.
