This is my Type 38 rifle with the bayonet in the other post fitted. Five feet fve inches from butt plate to bayonet point. A bit unwieldy in the jungle.

Keep in mind that the average Japanese soldier was only about 5'4" or 5'5" at the time, so they were carrying rifles that were literally almost as big as they were!
