Harsh! Justin for a minute I thought you did the Arisaka test on one of yours.
The guy got off lucky with only a gash in his nog'n.

THIS^^^



There is not a ground mum nor a defaced mom on that rifle.
The bbl ring is totally clean.

There was NEVER a Mum on it to begin with nor is there any "TYPE 38" kanji on the bbl ring where it is supposed to be under the mum.

This looks all like a blank, smooth bore trainer as trainers were never mummed nor marked "Type 38".
I bet if there was a picture of the butt-stock there would be a school/trainer kanji that was often burned in to the stock.

This is the reason why the Arisaka had a false bad rep to it's action being weak or will let go; folks shooting trainers with live rounds that don't know that what they had was a trainer.

Hmm, I don't know GOEX, the rear sight looks like a Type 99. Has the peep sight and mounts for anti-aircraft sights. As for the barrel ring, it looks like the photo is showning the side rather than the top. Also, the photos show a cross bolt in the stock. All of my Type 38s and one blank firing trainer don't have one. I really wish there was more photos.

No, you're right. It's a T-99.

I take back my post, also I take my comment on the mum, cause I see now that top of the receiver-ring totally gone where the Mum would have been.
I was looking at the bbl ring.. lol

+1, looks like a type 99 to me.

Still it's a sad day when a C&R dies.

Looks as though the ring is still there, it's just twised to the side in the picture so we cant see the top. Also the barrel is blown forward 1/2 way out of the ring.
Ouch.
