Description:
Serial #(00) 578139, 6.5mm Arisaka, 31 1/4” barrel with a very good bore that has some dark freckling within the grooves. This is an original rifle that was removed from military inventory for drill use by students before and during World War II. The rifle has a scrubbed mum, partially overstamped with the Kanji “school” character, and the distinctive double “0” prefix is present on the left side of the receiver. The metal retains 80-85% of the armory re-applied blue with gray fading at the muzzle and along the exposed edges and projections. The mixed number bolt has an armory bright finish along the body with some freckling along the bolt handle, while the sheet metal dust cover has a dark plum-blue patina throughout. The stock is not duffel-cut and has the numerous handling marks and blemishes commonly found on these school guns. A rack or inventory number is present on the right side of the butt: “180”, a large circled character in white paint is just forward, and a second, defaced number is stamped on the right wrist. The rifle is missing the cleaning rod but is in very good-near fine condition nevertheless. FFL or C&R
