Pics of my Type 38 carbine.

Post by PeterN2 » Sat May 22, 2004 5:42 pm

Here are a few pics of my T38 carbine. This is a series five Nagoya arsenal. It is mummed and matching, including the dust cover, except for the cleaning rod which is a Gunparts Corp repro.

This one is my best Japanese rifle. The others are all ground and/or mismatched.

I never thought I would see these pics on here again after the breakdown of the forum. It's a pity the other posts are missing. I can't remember what they said now. I will have to get this rifle to the range again.

Thanks for the comment. Arisaka rifles are few and far between in the UK. I count myself as fortunate to have got this one.

It is the nicest Arisaka I have seen in the UK. The dealer I bought it from had it on his personal licence as it was so nice. I eventually persuaded him to sell it to me.

T38 Carbine

Post by riceone » Wed Jan 24, 2007 8:59 am

For me the hardest Japanese rifle to find in excellent shape is the T38 Carbine. 99's are relatively easy to fine. Even 44's and T2's are easier than 38 carbines. I have one on the way, friend found it for me, I hope its like I want, I paid enough for it. Will post a picture if it nice. riceone.

I am always interested in seeing pics of Japanese rifles. I look forward to seeing a pic or two when you get it. I hope you get a nice one.

Here is a T97 Sniper I just got. Seems to have never been issued or fired. Original finish on metal and wood. Rifle is all matching with mum. Bore is brilliant. Scope is nice and clear. riceone
