I bought an arisaka several months ago and the cocking knob was a repro and the firing pin was unmatched from the gun (everything else was matching). Were some GIs forced to discard their firing pins/cocking knobs when they brought their rifles home because I can't understand why the original cocking knob would not be with the rifle.

(I have since bought an original cocking knob for my rifle)
