My first Arisaka.... w/ pics

Series 7 Type 99 Arisaka icon

, Serial Number range 818XX. Made in mid-1944. Pictured with Type 30 Bayonet. Rifle made in the Nagoya Arsenal. Bayonet made in the either at the Tokyo Arsenal prior to 1936 or the Kokura Arsenal after 1936. Still trying to figure that one out, both arsenals used the same markings. Sling is a IMA-USA Nagoya Arsenal reproduction. Rifle is all matching numbers. Bayonet is not... but then again the bayonets were stamped with their own numbers if they were stamped at all.

Rifle had the Mum on it.... it was a bring back apparently. The previous owner stated that it was his father's and he snagged it during the war as a battlefield pickup. No papers sadly.... So I take it with a grain of salt but it's highly possible since it has the mum on it.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Looks nice, Miami. Do you have the scabbard for the bayonet? Does it have the aircraft sights? We can just barely see the sling and the leather looks new, reproduction? Looks good. Do you plan on firing it?

No, being a series 7 it doesn't have the anti-aircraft sight nor does it have the knurling or dust cover. Rear sights are adjustable minus the anti-aircraft sight. Yeah, the sling is repop. I do have the scabbard for the bayonet.

It also appears to have the "thin" metal buttplate (less edge than the norm); unique to series 7 also.

That is very nice. Thanks for sharing with us.
