Japanese Arisaka Type 30 Rifle. In good looking condition, and maker marked from the Koshikawa Arsenals in Tokyo. Known as the "Hook Safety Rifle" due the the unique hook shape of the safety lever. Produced from 1898 thru 1905 when the new Type 38 rifles were adopted. This was the principal Japanese rifle during the Russo-Japanese War and served as reserve arms and for training into WW2.

The stock is in sound condition, correct 2 piece dove tailed stock with a few dings and dents and light refinish at some point. Metal finish is blued on the receiver and barrel with wear to the bands and triggerguard areas and plumb patina developing on the exposed areas. Bolt is brite with the knob turning a plumb color as well. Royal chrysanthemum has been over stamped/canceled on the receiver top. Serial numbers no longer match. Chambered in 6.5 Japanese the bore has very good rifling but darker frosted grooves.. Includes the cleaning rod.

A fine rifle for the military collector.
