Description:
We are offering for sale an early Japanese MURATA Type 18 bolt action rifle chambered in 11mm. This is the first bolt action rifle manufactured in Japan and was the precursor to the famous Arisaka rifle. This particular example is in very good condition with mostly matching numbers; bolt, receiver, barrel, rear sight and trigger guard all match. Stock still retains its cartouche. COLLECTIBLE EXAMPLE!
32” barrel is very good with a wonderful brown patina; Rear ladder sight. Bore is good with some surface wear; strong rifling remains. Original cleaning rod intact. BARREL MUM IS NOT SCRATCHED OUT AND REMAINS VERY ATTRACTIVE. Matching numbers receiver shows same brown patina; Bolt action works smoothly and flawlessly. Bolt numbers match; Firing pin mechanism numbers do not. Trigger guard very good with matching numbers. The only numbers I see that do not match are on the middle barrel band. Full length stock remains quite attractive with shoulder stock cartouche. Small repaired crack left side along rear tang; barely noticeable. Original metal butt plate very good.
HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE AND SCARCE EXAMPLE!
