[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3033423, member: 115658"] I was gifted a M38 Arisaka a long time ago. It was picked up by a Navy SeaBee at some miserable distant ugly place. The chrysanthemum on the receiver ring was untouched but no floor plate or follower. 6.5 mm. The sliding sleeve that covered the magazine was missing; the grooves on the receiver were packed with crud. The barrel was 20-22 inches long. Polygonal rifling, the bore sort of looked square. Bore might have been chrome plated. Peculiar breeching configuration, like U shaped recess for bolt to slide into, must of been a effort to machine. The safety was a knurled cap like cover at the end of the bolt. I read that many parts were manufactured in small shops, "cottage industry" ?, like hand work to with files and other tools produce stuff like accessory parts. I never shot it & my folks gave it to somebody that liked it more than I did. [/QUOTE]
