Rifle ID help needed

[dadogg]

Anyone know what rifle this is. Looks old and military to me

[White Falcon]

Looks like a 8 mm Mouser.

That's what I was thinking but can't find any markings. Need to take stock off but don't want to damage it

[geezer56]

Some type of Mauser. Not a K98, it doesn't have the thumb cut for stripper clips. Maybe a Turk or a Yugo.

[treestand]

Never seen a Mauser without markings, especially on the ring at the front of the action. Maybe they were ground off.

I would say Turk!

[K. Lane]

I would almost certainly say WWII Japanese Arisaka 99

If it is, I believe it's a 7.7x58

Japanese Arisaka with the crusanthamum ground off

Japanese. Looks just like the one my step father brought home in 1945. He won the gun fight.

I agree with the arisaka, I think it would've of been a practice rifle if it has the markings ground off

[twosixteens]

They were ground off after they were defeated captured rifles had them still

Ding, ding, ding, Winner. Could either be a 6.5 mm or a 7.7 but I'm not familiar enough with them to say, although I have a 7.7 in the safe my wife's dad brought back. It has the chrysanthemum on it.

Thanks for the help. Gives me a good starting point for the search

found this on the end of the bolt thought it was just a crummy repair attempt but now i'm not sure
