This purchase occurred while I Was @ my local shop checking on the status of my NICS check on a transfer for another rifle. (The people's republic of Jersey no longer take phoned in NICS checks, everything has to be faxed in, and wait times are from 2 - 5 days).

The counter guy and I started talking about the different rifles we owned, and he says they just got in a "Jap" rifle. It wasn't even in the rack yet, and he goes in the back and brings it out for me.

The rifle has the mum intact, cleaning rod is present, bayonet lug is numbers matching to the rifle, bolt is numbers matching, but not to the rifle, and antiaircraft sights are present. Stock is very dirty, but no major dents or gouges. So on a complete impulse buy, I take it.
