New lower price as of 8/10/24. Caliber is 7.7 Japanese like they all are. Has the usual military handling marks in the stock but none are obnoxious. No cracks. Somebody put a heavy varnish on it which I’m not wild about but it preserved the wood pretty well. The bluing is pretty decent. The metal shows a periodic teeny light surface fleck, but is mostly pretty good shape. Mum was ground off. Anti-aircraft wings are missing on the rear sight but it’s the one that has the neat circle instead of the v-notch. Bolt is mismatched but there are other numbers that match. Bolt is confidently tight and everything functions fine. I can provide several high-res photos and a video clip of the firearm in operation to any SERIOUS buyer. The reason I picked this one to add to my collection is that the bore shines like new. The rifle grooving isn’t crisp, but still plenty there. I’m gradually selling off my collection these days. I am not a dealer so PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE FROM CART until you have contacted me and we have worked out all the details involved in the selling/purchasing/shipping/transfer of this firearm. If you are serious on it, I will mark it as sale pending until we get the details worked out. Terms are as per this Description section and our correspondence. Cash only for Local sale. For local sale I will only sell to anyone who is verified to purchase a firearm so I would need to see either a FFL, or Firearm Purchase Certificate, and ID, just like it's done at the auctions/shows. Concealed Carry Permit works as well. I will ship to an FFL if a legible copy is provided to me. Read shipping notes below. Please contact your FFL provider to ensure they are accepting firearms for transfer from private individuals that don't have an FFL. I will also need contact info for your receiving FFL so that I can arrange shipping to them. If shipping, payment is by Bank Cashier's Check ONLY. Shipping is to only the lower 48 and is a flat fee of 65 dollars.
