Japanese Type 38 Arisaka bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5×50mm Japanese (6.5×50SR), manufactured at the Nagoya Arsenal as part of the 24th Series. This numbers-matching example is non-import marked and retains its original dust cover(cover non matching). It is in solid mechanical condition, and the bore is dark but shows visible rifling(see pic)— a condition very commonly seen on bring-back Japanese rifles. It is complete with its cleaning rod.
The Type 38 was the standard Japanese service rifle from its 1905 adoption through World War II, known for its long barrel, smooth cock-on-closing action, and the mild-shooting 6.5mm cartridge. This 24th Series Nagoya Arsenal example is a numbers-matching, non-imported rifle retaining its original sliding dust cover and cleaning rod, presenting as an honest bring-back-grade Type 38 for the Japanese militaria collector.
