Description:

Siamese Arisaka 8x50RMM Type 66 rifle

The Siamese Type 66 rifle is an export model of the Japanese Type 38 rifle ordered in 1923 and built in the Koishikawa arsenal. Delivery was delayed until 1928-29 due to catastrophic damage to Tokyo from the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.Although a Type 38 in appearance and function, very few of the Type 66 parts are interchageable with the Japanese rifle. Although not strictly a Mauser rifle, the Arisaka receiver is a modified Gewehr 98 action that borrows heavily from the Mauser design.

The Type 66 rifles were chambered for the Type 66, 8x52mmR Siamese, cartridge.
