Overview
A sporterized WWII Japanese rifle chambered in 7.7x58, this example is suited to collectors and enthusiasts looking for a historic military arm with practical handling characteristics. It features a 23-inch barrel with a bore described as strong rifling and shiny, while the metal finish shows normal wear consistent with use. The wood stock is structurally sound with no cracks or splits, the mum remains intact, and the mixed metal parts reflect its non-matching configuration. It is reported to function well, though it has not been test fired, so buyers should factor in that verification step before use.
