You guys will probably all put me on ignore after this (if you can do that here, I don't know) but it's definitely foreign & kind of a build. (milsurp purists stop now)

My dad (USMC) saw combat in WWII on Peleliu, Okinawa & then was in China taking surrender of Japanese soldiers & other stuff until mid-1946. At some point on Okinawa, he found an 7.7mm Arisaka with the stock burned & got it home somehow. A buddy of his handmade a Monte Carlo stock for it, so technically it has been "sportirized". Still has a nice, crisp mum. (I can't find a pic of the mum & markings right now. I'll take another in the next day or so). The guy who made the stock in the late 40s was obviously gifted, so there is nothing "bubbaed" about it. My dad used it deer hunting & I learned to deer hunt with it. Don't shoot it much, but couldn't bring myself to sell it no matter how broke we got. (& my wife, to her credit, told me to never sell it.) Anyway, pics.@Leadhoof & a couple of other guys here have seen it.

Foreign weapons and obscure builds is a "loose" outline to put it mildly. It's mostly random thoughts with an occasional Bakelite picture.
