A Type 38 Arisaka for sale

Post by PeterN2 » Tue Aug 23, 2005 5:42 pm

I was at a dealer on saturday and among the rifles he has for sale is a Type 38 6.5mm long rifle. These are not often seen in the UK. If any UK forum members want one, I can tell you where it is. It is in not too bad a condition, but the bore needs a scrub to get the muck out of it. It has the chrysanthemum ground off though.

Regards

Peter.

Thanks for the heads up Peter.

Sounds a bit rough for me but send me the address and I'll check it out.

Thanks :D

Not worth it

Post by PeterN2 » Sat Aug 12, 2006 5:48 pm

It would be much easier to buy one already in the USA. It may be worth it for a particular rare example but for a run-of-the-mill type 38, not worth the import/export hassle.

If you have any Arisakas already, tell us about them.

Regards

Peter.
