Since nothing on the rifle really matches, once I make the vidio as a curious " heads up", I will replace the extracter and save the bolt. I will also swap the stock with one of two thrity eights...

Thanks again for your efforts Salt Flat,

The Type 38 Rifle in question is non-series Koishikawa Arsenel, with a ser number in the high 800000's. It has an S barral and an earlier front sight post....

The bolt of the 99 is clearly ground down to fit the 38 and the bolt fits nicely..The Type 38 bolt does not go far enough to lock and the unmodified Type 99 Bolt will not even make it to the magazine...

As I was doing the anual cleaning on my Arisaka's I pulled out a type 38 that had givin ( as I remember) problems on the range with misfires ect. I pulled out the bolt and to my shock found it was...

Heres some Pics of the termite damage...Thanks for the good info..

Shame the termites got it to a degree...

Thanks I thought I was going crazy..

I got a nice Type one, also mint, awhile back and took it to the range..It just feels so tight. 400 bucks wasn't a deal but was not a screwing either with such a good bore as long as you plan to bang...

A friend that owns a gunshop showed me an old Arisaka with termite damage on the stock. I told him I had a spare stock at home, took it home and cleaned it for him, and when I was assembling it...

Your awesome, just looked at the rifle again and the barral/reciever allignment mark was no more than a sixteenth of an inch off in the wrong direction. No pin either..just when I was about to say...

Thanks I will give it a look..

Joe

Picked up a beautiful Type I awhile back which is incredible mint. Odd thing is the front site is cocked on the barral about thirty degrees to the right..It fires fine but ofcourse inpossible to hit...

I just fired a SKS I bout two days ago...what a dream..heavy but with a twenty one inch barral...just a sweet rifle to shoot...

Just had to yell it to someone..

Our club does that for safety concerns only because of the surounding property. Elitist has nothing to do with it. The whole gist of the post was a confusion in the qualifications which led me to...

Well my Arisaka arised to the challange and I am now a member of the three hundred club. I found it funny that though I did the identical bench rest position at least 100 times my heart pounded like...

Nice bore , Mum, Mono pod and sling and all matching? I would say yes exspecially if you do not have a 7.7. I hate the sling because if rubber or even leather you have to maintain it.

I'd by it...

I though the test was at 300yrds being a 300 yrd certification, and after mutiple reloads and pulling my hair out I found it to be at 100 yrds.six inches at 300 yrd and 100 is a big difference. Maybe...

Our Range I just joined has a 300 yrd club. I certainly have some experiance years ago as a composite shooter. If you pass a test they let you shoot on the 300 yrd instead of 100 yd range. I ask the...

Hi Folks,

I think I have a lazy spring in a 6.5 and was wondering if there was any after market springs.

Hello all,

Had a stock redone on a nice Type 38 ( It had to be, water damage had killed half the butt stocks finish and bleached it). Upon reassembly I could not get the screw that connects the...

I'll break out the camera and take a picture of both of them and send them along..The Chinese did a neat job when they cut down the rifles into carbines to include cutting the stock down to fit their...

Finnally got out to test fire my Type 38 rechambered by the Chinese to the 7.62 x 39, and I must say what a dream. Definatly a fun round to fire from such a heavy rifle. I lined up three targets side...

Why I love the Type 38 Japanese rifle:

a) The Jap 6.5 mm cartridge is one of the most pleasant rounds you will ever squeeze off down range. Truly minimal recoil and a nice flat trajectory just...

Hello all,

I just dropped to 100 gr bullets for paper punching with my Type 38. Any one have a favorite load. For that matter it would be great to post a sticky just with loads for these...

In an amazing flurry this week I have added both an Arisaka rifle and carbine of that conversion to my collection :p. An intresting note between the two is both magazines have been converted...

I believe to many "The bleeding obvious" is defined by their familiiarity with the situation or item in question. No doubt your expertise and passion for the Enfield and perhaps fire arms in general...
