Description:
Serial #1103179, 6.5mm Arisaka, 31 1/4" barrel with a very good bore that has some dark freckling within the grooves. This is a Tokyo Arsenal-made rifle that was “scrubbed" after World War II. The rifle has a ground mum and the metal retains 90-95% of an added blue finish with some gray fading at the muzzle, and along the exposed edges and projections. The early style bolt has an armory bright finish along the body with some freckling along the bolt handle. The stock is not duffel-cut and has several small handling marks and minor surface blemishes throughout the nicely executed armory reapplied varnish. The two-piece buttstock is held by two unusual hourglass-shaped pegs (the wood used to make the pegs is the same as the stock). These appear to be armory additions, but we have never seen anything similar before. The rifle also comes with the original cleaning rod, and is in fine condition overall. FFL or C&R
