Now go back and study the Arisaka. If it is a 6.5 mm it is a type 38. Did the rear sight have a flip up mechanism for range? Was the Mum intact on the reciever? I have two Type 38's and they are both much more accurate than you would believe with the large aperture rear sight. Both are carbines but one only has the fixed aperture and was a "school gun" issued for home guard or training purposes the other has the range adjustment slide and is extremely accurate for a short barreled weapon.
