Those are some good looking rifles! Salt Flat I have the reverse problem to you. Almost all of the arisakas that show up here are mid-late war examples but very few early ones that are in good shape. I'm glad someone's restoring the old sporters but my preference is buying a full military stocked one. Luckily the only mismatched rifle I had I ended up finding the bolt from a friend so I have now three all matching pieces and only one mum.
