Late war production weapons were like that.
Prewar or early war production are OK or so I understand
I gather the Arisaka/Type 99 was a popular conversion for hunting
rifles here after the war. Why, I cannot imagine.

Simple, there were a lot of them, the good ones are hard to destroy,
the 6.5 mm Jap was a tidy small hunting round and they were cheap.

Sounds like an explanation to me.
Much like the Lee Enfield in the Commonwealth.
