T38 Carbines

Post by riceone » Mon Sep 03, 2007 8:22 pm

Here are my T38 carbines. Not very well orgainized nor am I collecting them in any special way. Just what ever I could find. I do have one that was bored and chambered for 8x57 in China sometime. Also there is one that has been restocked by the Chinese - stock is one peice. riceone.

I think this will post.

That is a nice collection.

Do I see at least one of the Italian walnut stocked guns?

If you are a shooter of all things Type 38, do you have any of them that does not have an oversize and/or eccentric chamber?

Years ago I passed on two T-38s rechambered to 7.62X39 and regret it to this day!

I like to shoot them and contrary to most folks I LOVE the thumb, or palm safety on the T-38 and T-99s.

None have walnut stocks. As to the oversize chambers, all have it. They were made that way. Never had one that did not bulge the case. riceone.

TC I have three carbine that are in 7.62x39 and have not fired either. I wonder how they did that? Must have put an insert in the chamber and bored out the barrel. riceone

Riceone is right, all T38 have oversized chambers, with the exeption of the SIG rebarreled ones done in Finland. But finding one of those is near imposible, had the great honor to hold on, and that will be as close as I could get ever.
