nice rifle! probably taken by vet, he put on a m1 garand sling, shortened the stock and used it as a hunting rifle!
def worth the money!

You did good with the mum on it! Plus you have the dust cover for the bolt. Just a quick look at ebay, there are a couple stock sets up right now, some completed ones in the 180$ range with the metal hardware. Try Sarco or Numrich if you end up needing some metal parts. Chris...

completed auction dust covers on ebay are 45-60$ alone......

Be sure and buy a Type 38 stock, and not a Type 99 stock, if you plan on restoring it. Also, since the bolt isn't matching anyways, it won't be sacrilege to replace it with an un-bent bolt.

Hey guys,
So the barrel isnt cut, just the stock? Maybe I will think about replacing this stock and bolt. I own one other arisaka and this one even though sportorized is in so much better shape. i want to go shoot it . Can anyone confirm that the sling goes to a garand and is wwii?

[Col.Klink]

Yeah, it would seem the only issues with the rifle are the cut stock and bent bolt. Replace those parts and you should be good to go.

The sling is a WWII Garand sling.

If you're going to replace the bolt, please be sure you have a gunsmith check the headspace before you fire it.
