If it appears to be re-arsenaled it was not done by the Japs. As of August 15, 1945 all of Japan as a nation ground to a halt! Once anything left Japan it never returned again!

When thay brought them to the states, they filed off most of the imperial seal.

@cravyman1 Need some pics, but if it is in as good of shape as you describe, it'll be worth something.

@JTelli786 Well I am glad it worked out so well in the end. It shoots great, but it's going to be a safe queen for the most part. Although the 6.5 Jap that is available to shoot isn't very hi pressure, I don't forsee myself shooting it anytime soon anyways.

only the ones that were imported by the government had the markings ground off, you can tell the one he has in the video wasnt issued to a soldier for long because most troops removed the metal dust cover over the bolt because it made to much noise

@awol1965 This dust cover is not matching. Just because it has a dust cover doesn't mean it wasn't issued to any troops for very long. But if only the rifle could talk, we would know where it was issued to. It's possible some other collector just wanted a dust cover, and put it on there. Or a soldier brought it back, and also picked up a dust cover he found and threw it on there? Who knows?????

If its got the Imperial seal still on it, it was captured in combat..that lends credance to the "being shot story" and yes, it looks like an impact from a steel core bullet.

@Gloomshadow1 The mum is in tact and present. Parts 2 and 3 are good too :)
