Exotic wood stock, on a $100 rifle? Let’s look? #gun
The Arisaka rifle, a series of bolt-action rifles used by the Imperial Japanese Army, had stocks made from different types of wood depending on the specific model and production period. The primary wood used for Arisaka rifle stocks was Japanese hardwood, commonly referred to as "kokutan" or "hinoki."
Kokutan, which translates to "black wood," is a dense and durable hardwood native to Japan. It is a species of evergreen cypress known as Chamaecyparis obtusa. The wood is characterized by its dark color and straight grain, making it suitable for rifle stocks.
Hinoki, also known as Japanese cypress, was sometimes used for Arisaka rifle stocks as well. Hinoki wood is light in color with a distinctive fragrance and is valued for its resistance to decay and insect damage.
Other wood types, such as birch or beech, were occasionally used for Arisaka rifle stocks during periods of resource shortages or when the rifles were produced under occupation after World War II.
It's worth noting that variations exist within the Arisaka rifle series, and different models or production runs may have utilized different types of wood for their stocks.
