Okay, that's super cool.... :bow:

Supposedly these aren't stong enough to shoot regular ammo, right? And yes, you could put a live round in there and pop it off. If you don't really know much about Arisakas (and how many people do, really...), it's pretty hard to tell the difference between a regular rifle and a training rifle.

I wonder how many people have fired live rounds through them?

You are right. They are hard to spot as they are very good replicas for practice and operate exactly the same. The receivers aren't heat treated and the metal is poor quality. It will chamber a round and then explode. Easy ways to spot them though are this..

1. No chrysanthemum = no military rifle = trainer.
2. They have 2 vent holes on the top.
3. They are often smooth bore.
4. The bolt has no lugs. And it feels like it made of soft steel.

Remember arisakas are the final evolution of the mauser system and have 3 mauser bolt lugs. Here is the bolt for this rifle...zero lugs. So if you did fire a round that bolt is coming right back into your face.

I have a friend who has one of these trainers. He let me borrow the gun for a few weeks (back when we could do those kinds of horrifying acts...) to try to figure out what the heck was. Man, I stared through that bore for a loooong time, trying to figure out if it was rifled or not. It was SHINY! Man, my eyes kept seeing rifling in there, but I finally concluded that it was a smoothbore. Good fun. :bigsmile:

C.G. Haenel Suhl 1890-91: Karabiner 1888 Cavalry Carbine. The 1st smokeless powder carbine issued to Imperial German troops. 8mm Mauser.
Have posted about the rifle and no one can explain the 91 restamp.

Haven't shot it yet because it's a .318 8 mm Mauser not a .323 Mauser and I don't have any bullets. Runs on a 5 round Mannlicher style clip.

Good Lord, that's nice. So many of the Arisakas have been defaced (mum) or sporterized in some way, and it's a real treat to see one in that condition.

I don’t tend to have much of an appreciation for older rifles, but I know enough to know these are really special!

Impressive collection sir

It's an unremarkable non-matching rifle, but they aren't common. Nagoya arsenal 5 series, manufactured 1935 or so.
