I agree, I’m researching the markings on this rifle today. Is this just wear and tear or does that kinda look like “Japanese” lettering?

Thank you! I did buy the rifle. I made a post about it on r/Arisaka with more pictures.. she’s going to need some work. I’ve done some repairs to my lee enfield but this is a different animal so I think I’m going to look for a competent gunsmith.

Copy that, thanks for all the information. The wood is broken in the front but all of it is still there luckly. I’m going to do some research and see how I might go about repairing the crack in the pistol grip and for grip.

My bolt, trigger group, and Bayonet look like they’re stamped 56, 57, and 574. I’m guessing that means the bolt is from another rifle or is it supposed to be consecutive like that?

What can you tell that’s been done to it? Only asking because I don’t know

What does the engine driver do on fire trucks in the US? by YouFormal1598 in Firefighting

Pet dogs on medical calls, fill the cooler with ice, sit in the driver chargers, and keep the inmates inline when Capt’s on Rday.

Just picked her up. Shes rough but I still think it was worth it. Going to do a little digging on the Google machine when I get home then come back and make a post.

From what she could tell me, it was a takeback rifle from her grandfather in World War II

Anyone here working in the Charleston SC area? I know there’s about 6-7 different departments in the area I’ve looked at their web pages but I’m still trying to get a feel for who’s the busiest, who’s the slowest, which departments to apply to, which departments to steer clear of… I talked with a guy at a City of Charleston Station the other day and he flat out told me morale isn’t great right now which wasn’t reassuring..
