Jmore, that explains the 38's that I have seen with the SKS rear and front sights and folding bayonet. I also have two that the Chinese bored the T38 barrel and rechambered to 7.62x39, one has a block in the rear of the magazine for the shorter cartridge and the other has a shoulder block to hold the cartridges to the rear. Have two 38 carbine rebored and rechambered to 8x57 and two long rifles did the same way. No end to what was done to Japanese rifles after WW11. riceone

To add to all this, I recently found. A 22/250 chambered barrel threaded for a Japanese 99 action and a T38 barrel that had been rebored a d chambered to 7/57 Mauser cartridge. The Japanese did make T38's in 7/57 but the Chamber cone was longer and this one isn't. Looks like I may have to learn how to cut metric threads. Riceone

Someone asked why in the world would anyone want to fool with a Japanese rifle. Well, I like them. I remember reading back in the 1960's whersomeone won at Camp Perry using a Japanese Action rifle.

Off topic but, would anyone here have a good photo of the rear end of one of these chambers, please? Trying to determine if mine is actually a 6.5X50 Jap or possibly a 6.5S54 Mannlicher Schoenauer rechamber.
