This is for a Type 38 in 6.5 Japanese rifle with a full, untouched, perfect mum.
Very hard to find in Canada any Arisaka with full mum, which usually means a vet bring back or captured piece that was then subsequently surplused.
Bolt does not match the assembly number under the receiver (early Arisakas matched bolt to this assembly number not the actual firearm serial#).
Complete with cleaning rod and dust cover.
Bore is fair with good rifling but typical pitting from such an old surplus firearm used in the pacific theatre.
Stock has a light coat of varnish or shellac, not sure. Plan was to remove it and restore to original matt sheen but it grew on me and I never touched it.
I have owned this rifle for a long time, having imported it from the US when our dollar was at par, the good old Harper days I sorely miss!
Shipping on buyer, prefer F2F though until this Canada post strike talk is gone.
