I have a second Arisaka. It's a junker. Just about only a stock, barrel, reciever and part of the bolt. It is similar in length but the barrel band is thicker and located farther back about half way to the rear sight. Even though it's a junker it appears to have inferior workmanship, maybe a late war production.
