Scarce Mexican Contract Japanese Arisaka T.38 Rifle (Imperial Russian Issue?) Caliber: 7 x 57 mm, rimless Price: $3000 Inventory # ari_0085 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Scarce Mexican contract Japanese Arisaka T. 38 infantry rifle! Mexican government ordered 40,000 Arisaka T.38 rifles and carbine in 1910. The rifles were badly needed by the Mexican army, as the latter faced the shortage of Mauser rifles during the Mexican revolutions. Only about 4,600 of such rifles were actually delivered to Mexico, as the country government was overthrown soon after the order was placed. The remaining rifles (about 35,400) were placed in storage in Japan till 1915, when they were sold to the Imperial Russia. It is believed that the Mexican T.38 rifles with prefixes from C through M were the ones shipped to Russia (including this one!). Thus, the Mexican Arisaka rifles were issued to the Imperial Russian army during the Great War. Consequently, some rifles of this pattern were captured by Austro-Hungarian and German forces. After the war ended in 1918, some Mexican Arisaka rifles were issued to several countries of Eastern and Central Europe (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Finland and possibly, some other countries). Few rifles of this pattern were brought to the USA by returning American soldiers after the World War Two. The Mexican contract rifles were practically identical with the Japanese service weapons, except for the markings and caliber. The rear sight calibration was modified accordingly. The nosecap was altered to accept standard Mexican bayonet. The receiver ring displays wording, "Republica Mexicana" over a crest of Mexico and a date, "1913". There is a liberty cap and "RM" stamped on the barrel near the breech. The left side of the receiver rail displays a serial number, with "M" prefix. The rifle has a very nice, original finish on the metal and was not refurbished! Matching serial numbers on the receiver and stock. Mismatched serial numbers on the bolt and the magazine floor plate. No serial numbers are stamped on all the remaining parts, which is correct for this model. All the numbers are factory original, and they were never restamped. Two piece buttstock. Inverted "V" front sight without guards. The rear sight is calibrated to 2300 meter. Short handguard. Flat, forged buttplate. The receiver dust cover and the cleaning rod are missing. Manufactured at the Koishikawa factory. CONDITION: Low fine, with 86% of original blue still on metal. The blue finish is well preserved. Some finish is turning to brownish color (mostly on the trigger guard, magazine floor plate and barrel bands). The stock is in original finish with some handling marks, dings and scratches. No cracks to the wood. The bore is in excellent condition, with strong and shiny rifling. Very strong action. All the markings on metal are clearly visible. All the internal parts of the rifle are in fine condition with no obvious wear. No import markings. A nice example of a scarce Mexican contract Arisaka T.38 rifle! Serial# M13XX.
Unusual Late Pre-War Production French MAS 36 Short Rifle Caliber: 7.5 x 54 mm Price: $1075 Inventory # mlr_0082 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Unusual late pre-war production French MAS 36 short rifle. The rifle displays neither a serial number, nor proof marks. I believe that the rifle was manufactured in the last days before the Nazi occupation, when the French factories attempted to supply the French army with as many weapons as possible, quite often without serial numbers and proof marks. Many such rifles have never reached the French units, and were storied in the factories. Some were "liberated" by French workers during the early days of occupation. The late pre-war production MAS 36 rifles are difficult to find. The pre-war production rifles can be identified by open front sights (replaced by closed front sights on the post-WWII rifles) and different metal finish. MAS 36 features very short, modified Mauser type action. Mauser style magazine. Correct style bolt with turned down handle (the latter seems to be slightly bent). Adjustable rear sights calibrated from 200 to 1200 meter. Baked black enamel over the phosphate finish on all the steel parts, except for the bolt and barrel band that have only phosphate finish. The phosphate finish on the bolt is correct for the pre-war late production rifles of this model. The barrel band usually should have baked enamel finish, but in the last days before German occupation the French workers abandoned strict production procedures. For the same reasons, the back of the handguard does not have a reinforcing half moon ring. MAS 36 was manufactured without a safety. It was the last bolt action rifle adopted by any major European power. No cartouche on the buttstock (correct). The left side of the receiver displays following maker and model markings, "MAS M-le 1936". The bayonet is missing. CONDITION: Excellent. The rifle is in all original condition and it was never refurbished by French arsenals. 94% of original baked black enamel finish is still remaining on metal. Nice, solid stocks in original finish, with some handling marks, light dings and scratches. No cracks in wood. The bore is in excellent condition, with strong and shiny rifling. Strong action. All the internal parts of the rifle are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. No import stamps. Scarce French World War Two issue rifle in very collectible condition! Serial# N/ N.
Beautiful and Very Scarce German C.G. Haenel M.1912 Carbine (A Prototype?) Caliber: 8 x 57, rimless (.318) M 88 Price: $4500 Inventory # mau_0492 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Beautiful and very scarce German C.G. Haenel carbine in 8 x 57 J caliber. Manufactured by C.G. Haenel in Suhl in 1912, as indicated by markings on the receiver. The design of the action was undoubtedly influenced by Mauser M.1898. Haenel might have tried to bypass Mauser patent rights, designing the action along the same principles, and yet somewhat different in details. The carbine is strong enough to be a military weapon, so perhaps Haenel created it with the military market in mind. The receiver displays following markings, "2,5g G.B.P./St.m.g". Military style stripper clip guides are machined into the back of the receiver. Internal box magazine with Haenel's 1906 patent pivoting floorplate. Military style rear sights calibrated from 100 to 1500 meter. Fixed, military carbine style front sights. Steel trigger guard. Full length, Mannlicher style carbine walnut stock. Diamond checkering at the wrist of the buttstock and in the middle of the length of the forestock. Semi- pistol grip with black plastic grip cap. Mauser style safety lever is located on the back of the bolt. Turned down bolt handle. Military style steel buttplate. Two military style sling swivels. Complete with the cleaning rod. No serial number is stamped on the receiver, which may indicate a very limited production. Overall length is 42.75 inch. The barrel length is 23 inch. This particular carbine was featured in the story published in the "Rifle" magazine in July 2006 (with several pictures of this carbine!). CONDITION: Excellent. 96% of crisp, original blue on metal. The receiver, bolt and buttplate have polished steel finish. Some light patina on the buttplate. Excellent+ bore with strong and shiny rifling. Strong and smooth action. Mechanically in perfect condition. All the internal parts of the carbine are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. All the markings and numbers are clearly visible on metal and wood.

Price: $1650 Inventory # arc_0321 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: One of the few surviving Remington Rolling Block rifles that belonged to John Wayne Production Company BATJAC. The left side of the buttstock displays company's name, "BATJAC" (please, see pictures).

Most of these guns were stored in private residence in Malibu, CA, and were consequently burned in the big Malibu fire. This one was not! The rifle is in original military configuration. Three-line Remington address with a patent date is stamped on the receiver's tang, "Remington Arms Co., Ilion, N.Y. U.S.A, Patented Octr. 22nd, 1901".

Very Scarce French Berthier M.1907-15 M.34 Infantry Short Rifle Caliber: 7.5 x 54 mm Price: $1975 Inventory # mlr_0041 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Very scarce French Berthier M.1907-15 M.34 infantry short rifle. The rifle started its life as a Mannlicher-Berthier M.1907-15, and then it was upgraded to M.34 configuration by St.Etienne arsenal in 1937, as indicated by markings and a date on the chamber under the hand guard.

Polish Mosin-Nagant wz.1891/98/25 Short Rifle Caliber: 7.92 x 57 mm Mauser Price: $1500 Inventory # mnr _0060 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Very scarce Polish Mosin-Nagant wz.1891/98/25 short rifle. "Wz" is a Polish language abbreviation for "wzor", that stands for, "model" or "pattern". One of the few Mosin rifles ever issued in 7.92 mm Mauser caliber, hence designation, "98". This model of rifle was approved by Polish military in 1925, as an attempt to standardize the calibers of all military rifles. By the middle of 1930-s these rifles were considered obsolete by Polish army, and some were sold to Yugoslavia (this country in turn, sold them to Finland...), and some were transferred to Polish police forces. Many such rifles were issued to Polish Border Guards in 1939. Today they are very difficult to find, with perhaps only couple of dozens being in collections in the USA. The rifle was reworked from the Russian gun by Zbrojownia Nr. 2 (Armory No. 2), as indicated by markings on the left side of the buttstock. The magazine was converted to accommodate 7.92 ammo (some welding is still visible in the front part of the magazine). The chamber and the bolt head were modified accordingly for the 7.92 mm ammo. The barrel was shortened and rebored to 7.92 mm. The Russian style sling swivels were plugged with blocks of wood. The buttstock shows several Polish military markings. The rifle displays two sets of serial numbers. The long number "395XX" is stamped on the receiver, barrel, stock, buttplate, rear sight, nose cap, bayonet lug and magazine. The short number, "27" is stamped only on receiver, bolt and stock. The old Russian numbers were crossed with a single line on the magazine and bolt. Small Polish Eagle is stamped on the receiver, barrel and on the bolt. The chamber displays caliber designation, "7.92". Complete with the cleaning rod. CONDITION: Excellent as refinished. Both metal and wood have been completely refinished. 99%+ of crisp, high gloss commercial reblue on metal. Solid stock displays only a few handling marks. Although the markings on the stock are fading as a result of refinishing, they are still recognizable. Bore is in fine condition with strong and shiny rifling. No import markings. All the internal parts of the rifle are in fine condition, with no visible wear. All the numbers and markings on the metal are clearly visible. Very difficult to find Polish Mosin-Nagant wz.1891/98/25! Serial# 395XX/27.
