Imperial Precision: The S&T Type 97 Sniper Rifle (STSPG15)

The Type 97 Sniper Rifle was the specialized marksman variant of the Arisaka Type 38, featuring a lighter stock, a mono-pod (on original variants), and a specialized bolt to accommodate optics. The S&T Type 97 Sniper Rifle (STSPG15) captures the grace and mechanical precision of this historical icon, merging a magnificent Real Wood Stock with modern airsoft reliability.

Authentic Wood and Metal Craftsmanship

This rifle is a masterpiece of historical replication, featuring a stunning, one-piece real wood stock that provides the authentic balance and tactile experience of the original. The metal components—including the outer barrel, receiver, and bolt assembly—are finished to a high standard to ensure durability and a realistic metallic sheen.

Sniper-Specific Features

As a dedicated sniper model, the STSPG15 features the distinctive turned-down bolt handle. This design is historically accurate, allowing the shooter to cycle the action efficiently while a scope is mounted to the integrated side-rail. For users preferring traditional aiming, the rifle retains the classic ladder-style adjustable rear sights.

VSR-10 Performance Core

Underneath its vintage exterior, the S&T Type 97 utilizes an internal system based on the proven VSR-10 architecture. This provides significant advantages for competitive play:

• Upgrade Path: Compatibility with standard aftermarket VSR-10 springs, pistons, and hop-up components for maximum range and power.

• Consistency: The simple spring-powered mechanism ensures reliable muzzle velocity (typically 380–420 FPS) in all weather conditions.

• Precision Tuning: Features an easily accessible sliding hop-up lever on the side of the barrel for fine-tuning the trajectory of heavy-weight BBs.

Tactical Role and Milsim Value

The S&T Type 97 Sniper Rifle is the ultimate choice for WWII Milsim players and historical re-enactors. Its long barrel and stable platform make it a formidable choice for the long-range scout or sniper role. Whether you are building a period-accurate loadout or simply appreciate the craftsmanship of a wood-stocked rifle, the STSPG15 delivers an elite blend of history and performance.
