Hello,
I have what I believe to be a WWII era Arisaka Type 38 'training' rifle. I have made the assumption that this is a training rifle primarily due to the smooth-bored barrel that it has. It also has a "mum" stamp on the top of the receiver as well as some japanese markings on the stock (both sides). Hoping the knowledgeable folks here have some information on these. Is there any other ways to know for sure this is a training rifle? What are the differences from the training rifle compared to a fully functional rifle? Can a training rifle be converted to a fully functional rifle?
