Recently bought a Mukden Type 38 rifle. It is pretty much an unissued piece. Numbers match on reiceiver, bolt, and bayo lug. The rear sight has different 2 digits than rest, but is also as new. Sight has pyramid shaped aperature battle sight with straight bar sliding peep aperature. Max sight graduation is 2200 M. All other rear sights on Type 38 rifles I have seen have 2400 M maximum. Rifle is in the 1800 s/n range. Is this a charcteristic of a rifle towads the end of Type 38 run? When about was it made? Thanks for any input you folks may have on this.Information
