I have a question for collectors of the type 38 Arisaka as I am new to the collecting field.

I have what appears to be a Koishikawa arsenal type 38 but it is 40.75" over all in length and the barrel is 22.25". The sling attachments are placed on the underside of the stock and the barrel band with bayonet lug is not attached in any way to the end of the stock but I see no obvious modifications to the stock or barrel band. I am not able to scan pictures but would mail to anyone interested in helping identify this rifle.

Any info would be appreciated.

BOB, sounds like a T38 Short Rifle, some are Japanese and some are Chinese modifications. You're welcome to contact me about it. Thanks for posting. Trey

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!
