I'll start.






Jap Type "I" , Beretta contract rifle in 6.5 jap . looks like a type 38 but it's on a carcano action using the mauser/arisaka 5rd box.
no outside markings other than a simple Ser# and barrel proof mark - the beretta markings are on the underside of the barrel .
Most of these never got issued so a good chunk of them have that NIB look .

Interesting. I knew they issued more than just the Type 99 rifle which seems to be the one I see most often but never really knew anything about the others. Thank you for posting.

A mint Mas 36-51 that I used to own many years ago.

You're not kidding about that being mint. That's a great-looking Mas! What made you let it go?

24 calibers in my collection at the time. I'm down to about a dozen now.

I got one of those nice Mas-36's off of WHOS for $40 probably 14 years ago .
