    TYPE 38 CARBINE REASONABLE PRICE?

    What do you all think a reasonable retail price would be for a Type 38 carbine... I think it is a Series 4 Nagoya, serial number matching bayonet lug but not matching the bolt, no apparent rust...

    Thanks but my concern is the "soak in" part. With the amount of stain that has already been soaked into the wood I'm not sure anything but a topical finish would work. My mix for the staining...

    Gunny Paste over stained wood?

    I just finished staining a cheek riser to match my Number 4 repro (T) stock and would like to protect the finish. My go-to would be BLO but I think there's not much more absorption to be done by the...

    The barrel is dated 1956 (at least I think that's a date) and it is interesting that they would still use the M47 designation that long after the war... although not unlikely that Cold War concerns...

    Thanks to all. My assumption is that components subcontracted to manufacturers in England would not have made their way to Long Branch or Savage during the war. Since this rifle has not been marked...

    The rifle was converted to a faux (T) by a previous owner, so if I can get the repro Number 32 scope zeroed, the 10x's will be produced by that device!

    Thanks for the info. If it turns out I need some tarting up, where do I send it and how much does a standard tart job cost? This is a serious question!
  11. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT EITHER OF THESE TRIGGERS?

    I have a 1943 Long Branch whose trigger, once the rifle is cocked, flops forward and aft about 3/8 inch with no resistance. Once the slack is taken up, the 2-stages work and feel normal. I have a...

    I have acquired a repro No. 4 Mk 1* (T) with a repro Number 32 scope mounted. The scope seems to be very solidly built (weighs 2 1/4 pounds with the mount), is crystal clear and the graticle moves...
