Late Kokura Type 44

[Low & Slow]

Just picked this Type 44 carbine. Not as nice as some, but at least I've got one now. The bayonet lock is a mis-match, but fits and works fine. The rest appears good on that score. The spring for the cleaning rod trap is broken, but it still opens and closes, and stays put in either position. The grinder guy seems to have taken his job seriously, and was not to be contented with a simple X-out. I was encouraged by the strong rifling when I looked it over, and with some initial cleaning, the bore came out nice and shiny. Should be a fine shooter.
(I tried to attach some more pics, but the system rejected them due to file size)
