Need some help with a Japanese rifle ID

I have an original of the photo. Stumbled across it on e-bay. Small world via the internet. Check Sportsmans Guide on line for the 7.5 http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=606393 in stock.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I wish he had sent the whole case home.

Could you be convinced to post a photo?

I'd love to but he gave the rifle to a niece before he passed away and it's in Idaho now.

I hope she appriciates the story/ rifle as much as you obviously do and passes it to someone who will preserve Umcle Carls legacy. Thanks for sharing it with me.

I posted on 8/13/2011 regarding my 99 that was actually marked Saipan and is a battle field pick up. You might want to look at that post. A.F Medic
