I have a WWII Japanese Arisaka 7.7mm rifle.
Its my understanding that only sniper or officers Arisaka's had chrome
sleeves in the barrel.
Well this one has the extra long chrome sleeved barrel and drilled for a scope. So its the sniper version.
Crisanthamum is intact so it was a battlefield find brought back by a GI. :salute:
I picked it up about 20 years ago at an Estate Auction.
Ive always wanted to put a correct era Japanese scope back on it but have never found one....
A friend of mine is in Japan but he says weapons are real restrictive over there and he has no idea where to look.
any ideas??
mods please move if I put this in the wrong spot. Thanks!!
