My grandfather received this "Japanese sniper rifle" as a souvenir from the U.S. Navy. I don't think it's either of the Arisaka models used by the Japanese--no magazine.

Action design:
Bolt design:

There's an identical marking on the receiver just behind the sights. The bayonet lug and the bolt handle are marked "3277".
Edit: Also, sorry about poor image quality. It looks decent on the camera screen, then when you open it on the computer it's all slightly out of focus. Gonna dig into the manual and see if I can fix that in the future.
Edit: Also, thanks for moving this, mods. I must have missed the addition of the firearms research forum sometime.
