    type 38 bring back

    Greeting Calgunners,

    I figure some of you out there will be interested in this post.
    First off, the pictures are sub par, but F it.

    My grandfather was a Navy CorpMan(if I messed up the title I do apologize). The man has been deceased for over 27 years now. God rest his soul. I am the proud recipient of a T38 Arisaka that this man brought back
    from his service in this nations military. I know for fact that it has not been fired since the late 40's. The chain of command is well documented.

    I have been in possession of this rifle since the mid 90's. Just recently did
    I gain interest in it. Once I started learning the history of it, I kinda became obsessed with it.

    Thank to Radix.com I've found out that it was manufactured at the Koishikawa arsenal in Tokyo. Its serial # is 1,103,*** which should place its

    year of production at 1920-21. If anyone out there can date it better, please do. It still has the MUM and the dust cover. All numbers match except the bolt. But, in my opinion, considering a rifle of this age and the amount of action it might have seen, I gotta figure parts would have had to been replaced. Anyway, I have some factory 6.5 x 50 being delivered soon, so I'll range report next week.

    Thanks,
    Cody

                    The intact mum and dust cover makes it worth more to collectors.
