I saw a post on here along this line and was hoping you guys could help me.
I bought this Arisaka from a local dealer and was surprised to find it had no firing pin. The more I look into it the less I am learning. He called it a "last ditch" Type 99, to me it looks like it has some of the features of a last ditch and am just looking for more information. I would love to shoot it but I have heard of many people having issues doing that with some of the rifles that were drilling models or training only models.
It looks to be from the Kokura arsenal with a serial number of 79130 but I am unable to decipher the series character. ALso you can see the 'Mum has been ground down.
Any help is appreciated.
