Hello grubber and welcome.

I always like to see pics of Arisakas. Where I am in the UK, they are uncommon. I have only seen one other shooter on a range shooting an Arisaka other than myself. I know of a Type 2 takedown model for sale in the UK but it is not the best example and the shop wants too much money for it. It has been for sale for about three years.

Regards

Peter.

Thnx for the welcome guys

Finally iorned out the problem I was having with the 38.

Maby a range report later this month. Can't wait to see what it can do with

Bullets that actually match the bore. The problem was a bore that mic .270 so normal 6.5 ammo .264 was barley touching the rifling

So I made a swaging die on my lath to squeeze down 270 bullets .277

To .270. preliminary tests look good. we shall see what a longer range test does.

I'd like to see some photo's of what your Arisaka can do with some home made ammo. I've got a 38 that I've never fired that's on my going to do it some day list.

I am from the northwest of pa up by greenville- meadville area.

Heres a pic of the preliminary 50 yd target With my custom bullets.

I know I can group better. I was very twitchy that day. Due to the

5 truckloads of block I unloaded before getting to the range

Not a bad start

Post by PeterN2 » Sat Apr 01, 2006 3:59 pm

The Arisaka T38 can be very good shooters. I shall have to try to put up a target and see how mine shoots. In the 6.5, I have a T38 long rifle, a T38 carbine and a T44. I think the T44 is the most acurate of mine.

Regards

Peter.

Japanese Rifles

Post by riceone » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:08 pm

Since someone said they liked to look at pictures of Japanese rifles, I just can't resist. I guess this is my first time here, but if you like to talk about Japanese rifles I will be back.

This is a Series 29 Nagoya T38 Rifle. Its one of less than 4000 made in the last series just at the end of the war in 1945

The wood is in very nice condition with original finish. This is a hard to find rifle.

The mum was not ground but it does have two hack marks across it. It is all matching including the dust cover.
