Hello everyone, I've got a Japanese rifle of some sort that I've had for 8 or 9 years or so...got it from my grandfather and I don't know too much about it other than it's Japanese and shoots the 7.7x58 (which is a pain to find and expensive when I do). I'm pretty sure its an Arisakaicon of some type, but I haven't seen any pictures of one like this with a shorter stock. I've attached some pictures of it and the markings in hopes that you all can help me with my questions. I have no intent of doing any modifications to this rifle at all...I'd just like to complete it if it is missing anything (which I'm sure it is...I only have the rifle itself). I already got a ton of help with my SKS and am loving the site so far.

Here is the overview of it


Here is the markings on top of the receiver


Here are the markings on the left side of the receiver




I couldn't find any more markings on this rifle at all, is there anywhere else I should look?
