| Trey, you reported the highest numbered series 23 with long rod to be 86,759. Would that coincide with when the Kokura Arsenal ceased manufacturing rifles with monopods and dustcovers? I'm also curiou ... | |

| Just an fyi, I checked the short push-in rods on my late 23rd and early 24th series rifles and both appear to be identical in dimensions. It would be interesting to see a 37th push-in rod. Hopefully m ... | |

| Use of the short push-in rod for such a short period of time (maybe 10,000 or so rifles) makes for an interesting variation. I am lucky to have acquired 2 rifles with the short push-in rod. One a lat ... | |

| And did the short push-in rod start in the 23rd Series in the 90,000+ sn range? | |

| Thanks for the response Trey. I have one with a large trigger guard dated Aug or Sep of '41 and was curious about it. It has a bullet or shrapnel "ding" in the barrel and all matching including the ma ... | |

| I am a babe in the woods when it comes to these pistols so here goes with my question. What year did they start making them with the larger trigger guard? Did they phase out the ones with the smaller ... | |

| Do you think the mum defacement occurred prior to the Americans taking control of the arsenals and weapons turn-ins or afterwards? Do you think large scale mum defacement occurred after the Americans ... | |
