ok thnx. all of the info i had said it was produced form 1897-1905.

ok yeah the barrel is in good shape rifling looks good just needs a MAJOR cleaning.

i found out that hornady makes a 6.5x50 jap round if i get the barrel all cleaned out would you suggest i shoot it or not. it has the firing pin and the firing mechanism in it.

yeah i found this at my grandmas house she has a building FULL of antiques and this was on the wall :)

it was produced from 1897 to 1905

i already knew what the markings were so it was kinda old news

this is all it says: "These are easily identified by the hook shaped safety on the back of the bolt. This and all models until the Type 99 have a bore diameter of 6.5mm.". this is where i got most of my info on the type 30 http://members.shaw.ca/ursacki/t30pix.htm

it also has two small marks on the bottom of the butt i think they are initials but i dont know.

there was a type 30. it doesnt have a kana so i was thinking that they didnt start using the kana until either the type 38 or later production models of the 30

i have an arisaka type 30 in beautiful condition with mum intact (it looks like there are 0's struck on it in two places but thats it) it has serial number 231777 and i was wondering when this would have been made and what its value is.

Its solid steel.so since its not Damascus would it be OK to shoot it or should I just leave it as a decoration.

Ok thanks for the info

It's from Belgium I know cause it says fine belgium Damascus. So it's black powder? I shoot black powder so it shouldn't be a problem for me to shoot it or would it shoot low pressure smokeless shells?

I have a richard double barrel shotgun and i dont know what its worth it has damascus barrels. I know damascus steel is worth alot of money but you can only see the pattern in one place and it looks like at one time somebody tried to clean it with car wax or something.
