Would someone point me to the web site about this rifle. I had it but lost it. Is there a Police Carbine and an Army Carbine and do they have different crest? Thanks, Riceone.

Roy, I'm not sure about the site, I'll have to noodle around. Frank may know where it is. There are a few different receiver markings listed on the Siamese Rifle Datasheet. I'd post pictures directly, but I have a new pc at work and my home pc crashed over the weekend so I don't have my normal software for grabbing images. Trey

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Here are the receiver markings from the Siamese Datasheet (figured out the 'new' software).

I'm not looking at my carbine right now but the crest is either the third or fourth. I have been in contact with Frank and my carbine is indeed an Army Carbine. The Police Carbine has a little different crest with a knife through it. Also it has the straight bolt handle the stock sticks past the middle band and is rounded and the regulation long rear ladder sight. The butt stock is configured like the M1 Carbine but nothing done forward of the pistol grip. The Army carbine has the bent bolt short welded rear sight and slimmed barrel, the other does not. riceone.
