Arisaka Type?

onegunn
I thought I had an Arisaka Type 30 with correct bayonet, but after reading some posts and looking at some advertised Arisakas for sale I'm not sure what I got.
Can you post a pic here? I clicked the insert image that didn't work.

    It looks like the hook safety (Type 30). Bad picture for ID'ing, but if a finger piece is sticking out on the left side, it's a Type 30 carbine. You can tell it's a carbine by the short sight.

    The overall length is 50", with bayonet 65. The bayonet is the hook type. It has a different magazine release, this one is half moon shaped, the rear sights are longer, the end of the bolt is bigger. I think the front sights have taller shoulders.

    Thanks for the pic rufe-snow, I was actually asking if I could post a picture.

    This one doesn't have a safety?

    I found the serial number. It is preceded by some crossed lines in a circle 9 46 09 followed by the one circle over three, it also has the crysanthenum with 3 japanese characters under it on top of the reciever.

    The one circle over three is depicting stacked cannonballs and is the marking of Kokura Arsenal. The three Kanji on the receiver mean "Type 3 0".
    Onegun, Yes it has a safety. Pull back the hook and rotate 90 degrees up.

    The picture on this post is not a picture of my gun. Mine does not have the hook, it has a half moon shaped butt plate release. I guess it has a bolt safety.
    So it's a Type 30 Long? The flip up site goes up to 24, meters?
    I tried to post a pic but the image host site had a virus.

    The "half moon shaped butt plate release" is a characteristic of the Type 44 carbine as shown in this photo.

    EDIT #1, The moderators will probably close this thread after 10 responses, (due to forum rules), start another topic with a subject line of, "Ariska Type?, #2".

    Yes, that's like mine. So is the bolt, and the flip up sights. But mine has sling hooks on the bottom. What length is the carbine, mine is 50" long, 65" with bayonet. Mine doesn't have wood over the barrel, and the front sights are like the 30/38/99.
