DTM72 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Didn’t know where else to post this so @Brianfeel free to move to appropriate place. I have been wanting a Japanese WWII rifle to compliment all of my Nihonto and Imperial Japanese swords. There is a fellow dealer selling a Type 38 6.5mm rifle. See attached pics. He is asking $575 but will take $500. Seems like a good deal to me since these are getting hard to find. Please let me know what you think! Unlike Nihonto, I don’t have any reference material for these. Much Appreciated! Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Stock looks split, however if it fires (firing pin not bent, etc.) 500 dollars is a decent price for any rifle nowadays. Just my two cents. John C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Checked others on GB. Looks like that is at the low end of ones in reasonable condition with the Mum. Probably not a terrible deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNSSHOGUN Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 If memory serves me correctly, the stock is made from two pieces rather than being split. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock was made in two pieces. I thought it was split too. I ended up not buying it. Getting too close to the holidaze and should probably use the money for other things...like saving for the Las Vegas show in January!

sbf Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Very nice Type 38, looked like a good buy to me. The two piece stock is correct. If the bolt number matched the rifle, it was a real bargain. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
