I won two Arisakas at an on-line estate sale today. This is one of them, with the following description:

ARISAKA TYPE 38 6.5 X 50MM BOLT ACTION RIFLE 32 inch barrel. Bore is clear, in need of a clean. At about 70% overall with general service wear. sn577689

These are the auction pics (I'll post better when it actually arrives):







At first I thought that the mum was not defaced. On closer examination, it appears to be somewhat defaced with small circles. Any idea if this type of defacement is indicative of anything in particular (School rifle, trainer, etc)? I'll post better pictures and matching number info when it arrives.

Thanks, Steve
