Please! I enjoy a good laugh as much as anybody and the three of you always give me a chuckle or two when reading your remarks.
I know everyone was kidding and I didn't think anything of it, but I had to add some type of rebuttal. I thought it was cleaver of me to call the three of you ( You, Happy and Tal) juveniles. LOL
At the end of the day we here at OG are family.......maybe dysfunctional and somewhat delusional but we are still family!
Your friend who has an Arisaka is correct it is rare to find one with the dust cover as most Japanese soldiers tossed them away.
Did you happen to notice if the rifle still had the chrysanthemum seal still on the top of the receiver?




knew you were kidding, seen it right off, not enough dirt pilgrim.

yes it has the chrysanthemums on it, he said they threw the cover away because it rattled, too noisy for war

I think a fellow would be making it pretty clear he was serious if he showed up to duck camp with that apparatus duct taped to his benneli

The trick when using it for duck hunting is to wait til most of the heads are up and not under water looking for the corn!

The rifle was stamped on the receiver with a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum stamp showed the rifle was manufactured for the Imperial Japanese Army and therefore belonged to the Emperor.
The Japanese felt that surrendering a rifle bearing that mark showed "disrepect" to their "Emperor"; therefore, rifles which were surrendered as part of an agreement were normally "demilled" by having the mums ground off. A rifle with a grounded off crest meant it was a turned in rifle, unground meant a captured rifle from the field.
You can still find rifle's with the chrysanthemum on the receiver but they bring a higher price.
