I looked at my fatherinlaws Arisaka this last weekend(I could have sworn it was a 6.5mm T38, but it's a T99 earlier type, monopod, aircraft ears on the sight). His rifles mum is unground, perfect and beatiful. His father was the Provost Marshal on Guam after the war,and this rifle was found in a crate inside a cave after the war. supposidly the crated rifles were packed in ten yen notes! I think we've narrowed the mum grinders down to either the Japs or the Yanks on captured rifles after the war. I still don't understand why.

I've got the Emperors Arisaka sitting with a barrle full of penetrating oil(I think it's going to be ok). I thought these were supposed to have chrome lined bores, but this mid war Nagoya rifle doesn't appear chromed. This is probably what they call a transitional rifle, made approx. 1943.
