Arisaka Type 2 paratrooper model
Good day,
I’m a M1 Garand collector, who happened across a type 2.
Mum is ground off, bolt does not match serial number on receiver.
All other numbers are correctly matched.
Guess my question is this...are these rare firearms in any condition or do they come up being all matching with mum intact?
I’ll try to add photos...
Best,
Chris

They made about 22,000 Type 2 rifles…not rare but I’d say uncommon. It’s hard to say how many matched with mum but many were scrubbed. The bolt not matching hurts the value a little. How’s the overall condition? I’d like to see pictures as well…we all like pictures!
