DESCRIPTION: Scarce Japanese T.30 "Hook Safety" Arisaka carbine. The carbine was manufactured by Tokyo arsenal, as indicated by a symbol stamped behind the serial number. The Imperial Chrysanthemum has been ground off

it shoots the standard jap 6.5 caliber bore dark and pitted but shootable. it is a really neat looking little carbine.
was wondering if anyone knows anything about these little carbines i picked this one up today for the high price of $40.00. didnt know what i had but found it on the net. the safety is not the usual round know of jap rifles it is a hook on the back of the bolt. information would be appreciated. argie1891 aka joe gifford

...could use some closeups of stamps on the left side receiver....and mebbe the whole receiver/back end from different angles would help and be neat...I've got some good reference material here on them that might fill in till riceone comes along and adds his expertice...

Thought you might like to know that Argie let me have that carbine and it's way down here on the south where it will stay. I'm very proud of it. I have had one once before but sold it, going to keep this one.

i really hope you are happy with it. i didnt have ammo brass dies and didnt want another caliber to reload for at this time. figured it should be in a good home where it can get the love and attention it deserves.. ok it is not a kid or a dog but heck you guys understand. argie1891

I have ammo and dies for it but doubt I will ever shoot it. However I do intend when I have time to clean the barrel as good as I can. It still has riflings but there is what looks like rust. When I get it cleaned to my satisfaction I will post again. This rifle was adopted in 1897 and was in service till the T38 came out in 1905 (I think).
