6.5 arisaka
« on: May 29, 2014, 11:25:51 PM »
Just picked this up rifle up for a whopping two hours of work. The front ring of the action has no crest; ie, no cryhsthanimum flowrr specific to the Jap rifle. Nor does it to appear to have been washed, grinded or alteref.  Can anyone tell me if this is common

The weird little mark is the arsenal the rifle was built at, names I cant pronounce or spell :chuckle:. My dad has a book on the arisakas and all markings, dates and serial numbers.

This one has one hole on the front bridge, fore of the locking lugs. It is not tapped... Friend, thanks for the back and forth... My internet is quite spotty, so im unable to do much searching.

From what I've read, the 6.5 was based on the Italian Carcano, and was the Japanese Army rifle up to and a bit into WW II.  The 7.7 rifle was based on the Mauser and the Chrysanthemum was the Emperor's insignia.  If the Arisaka still has the Mum, it was captured during the war.  I was given a 7.7 Arisaka by an uncle who was in the Navy in WWII, and he said he had to grind off the 'Mum in order to keep it on the ship.  This was a part of the surrender terms.  The Japanese didn't want anyone to possess the Emperor's insignia.

The arsenal mark is at the end of the serial number. If I remember right, this one is Nagoya.  The next time I get to my dads, I will borrow the book and post some pics of the marking translation.

I think there were 5 or 6 different arsenals.  Everything had an arsenal stamp--bayonets and all!
