    Identification Help

    Just added my first Arisakaicon rifle to my collection. My father-in-law picked this up from a neighbor and gave it to me. I'm thinking it is a naval cast iron receiver type 99, but I'm not sure. The bore is rifled, nice and bright. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    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.

    Is it varnished or just oiled? The 1st three look like it might be oiled.

    I read somewhere that they were made by the Italians for the Jap Navy and the parts may not interchange.

    Those were the Type I rifles, completely different rifles made with a Carcano action not Arisakaicon action.

    Isn't that a naval type 99 trainer?
    The bolt looks like the type for firing blanks.
