Always wanted an Arisaka, but I admittedly don't know everything about them. Saw this one at the gun show and figured it's about time I add one to the collection.
The chrysanthemum has been ground off (like, REALLY ground off), but it does have the aircraft sights and the rifling looked quite good. Came with one of those brown plastic muzzle caps too. Private seller; for $180 and a handshake it came home with me.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Nice. I have been looking for one for awhile that has both the AA sights and an intact mum, but talk about hens teeth.

Nice find, especially if the muzzle cap and cleaning rod are original.

You did very well. I payed $200 for a "last ditch" with a fixed sight, un-ground mum and no import stamp. The pawn shop wanted $ 300 and I offered 200 otd even though I didn't really want it.

The parts you mentioned are the only serial numbers the gun will have aside from the firing pin. |
