This arrived a week or so ago. Series 3 Nagoya type 99. Early enough that it has all the early features. Matching number dust cover, anti aircraft sights, and mono-pod. Fully matching, which on this rifle is receiver, bayonet lug, dust cover, bolt body, extractor, cocking piece/firing pin and safety knob. Unmessed original Urushiol finish, which is derived from plants like poison ivy.
Note the still staked screws, and stains on the wood from 75 years of the mono-pod sitting against it.

Oh, and untouched MUM

Neat rifle Andrew!

This one is far more interesting than the other clunker you posted last month. You should probably hurry up, do some soul searching, determine that you don't need multiple Japanese rifles, and just sell me the other one. It's totally half of an additional 98K that could be sitting in your safe. :p

But on a serious note, thanks for taking the time to post this example in such detail. It's got some very cool features.

Can you tell me why there are small holes to create "i"s with the screw channels? All I could come up with offhand was to prevent overtightening?

They are stake marks to prevent the screws from loosening. A sharp punch was used to indent the metal causing it to flow into the screw slots. A mechanical lock of sorts.

Another great example Andrew. Don't sell the other one to Chris. You need both.

Sorry Chris.

Just to note: the stake marks, in this case the Arisaka, can fetch a higher price among collectors if they (including the screw heads) are not buggered with. This example is not bad but has been disassembled
or adjusted at some time. The same should observation with screw heads and stake marks on all other surplus.

Just my 2 cents. Nice rifle, they shoot very well. I always considered the 7.7 to be a rimless 303.

That rear screw looks pretty untouched to me. The stake is still rounded where it protrudes into the screw slot. If that screw had been out I would think it would be flattened off a bit.
 
It has not been disassembled. With the rear screw, it is impossible. The front action screws may have been snugged up in the past, who knows. But disassembly isnt possible.
