From the looks of all your pictures it looks like you made a killing and cleaned up at this sale.

thanks alot it was over a week of hauling out of the gunsmith estate so i think i made my gas an time back so far. the total so far of whole guns that they said were junk is close to 30 whole gun. i have no clue how many more are there yet. just posted some pics of jap stuff under that form.

This one's a model 1896. I think that serial # would have been a rifle, not carbine.

[mmppres]

would that mean that the barrel was cut an then frount sight put back on

Exactly...

[andiarisaka]

Or, someone might have put a carbine barrel on it at some point.

[mmppres]

is there a way to tell if that was done

[browningautorifle]

What does it measure out to? Mine is two numbers off one in the SRS 1st addition Martial Arm list and it's clearly listed as a rifle.

[mmppres]

from muzzle to frount of action is 29 1/4 inches
