Description:
Only around 21,000 of these were made and this one is serial number 6769. This rifle has markings indicating it was produced by the Nagoya Arsenal which was the only arsenal that produced the Type 2 during World War 2. The assembly number is #281 and is properly marked on all matching assembly parts including both front & rear blocks, the rear sight base, and on the take-down screw. The full serial number is present as usual on the left side of the receiver. The last three digits of the serial number (769) are present on the bolt, barrel, extractor, firing pin and bayonet lug. The rear sight is graduated from 300 to 1500 meters and has aa wings. The mum on the receiver is fully intact. Like all Type 2 take down screws, this one sticks out a few threads. This was done intentionally so that as the wedge wore down over time the screw could be tightened further to ensure proper lock-up between the two halves of the rifle. The rifle has a very tight lockup. The bore is in very excellent condition and is naturally, chrome lined. The receiver, rear sight, magazine plate, butt plate, barrel, and trigger guard assembly all have a light to medium amount of pitting present. The dust cover provided protection to the part of the receiver it covers and so that portion of the receiver has little pitting present. Given the external condition it is all the more surprising to have an intact mum and especially, to have such an excellent bore. The rifle is definitely in a shootable condition and would be extremely accurate. In a way, this rifle is a perfect example of why any modern rifle should have a chrome-lined bore.
