World War II Japanese Type 2 Paratrooper Bolt Action Rifle

This is the scarce and desirable Type 2 Japanese takedown "Paratrooper" rifle. Manufactured at the Toriimatsu factory under Nagoya Arsenal control. The top of the receiver has the Chrysanthemum (which is unharmed) and Kanji markings for "2/ Rifle". The left side of the receiver is marked with the assembly number, serial number and the Nagoya arsenal "fighting fish" factory mark. Inverted "V" front sight and 1500 meter ladder rear sight with AA wings. Smooth two piece stock with the cupped buttplate, side mounted sling swivels and a drain hole in front of the trigger guard. Assembly number "511" is present on the barrel near the rear sight, front and rear halves of the takedown hardware and screw, with the wedge numbered "1" and the barrel lug numbered "589". The dust cover is unmarked, and the bolt number 589 matches the frame number 6589.

ConditionExcellent metal, refinished wood, with 95% of the original blue, showing areas of spotting, brown patina, and mild pitting and handling marks. Stock has been sanded and re-varnished, with heavy pressure dents concentrated on the forearm. Mechanically excellent.
