    Recently picked up a Type 38, Nagoya series 26 or 27. Heavily covered in grease and filth and some parts pitted. On the unfinished bolt parts there is a black type grease that has actually pitted and eaten away at the metal. Does anyone know what this is caused by? Very difficult to get off...

    I did by this last weekend at a small military show. It looks to be all correct to me but would like other opinions. I really liked the sling and a translation would be greatly appreciated. I believe it is a series 28. Confirmation appreciated. The stock does not look to have been messed...

    Picked this rifle up the 27th of October 2021, I know very little about my rifle's background in terms of manufacturing date and series. I also have a few pictures of a Early Type 30 bayonet, they are of both sides of the tang were most a serial number is and some odd markings along with the...

    I recently acquired a Type 38 at a show for a good price, but something I noticed stamped on the receiver were a few markings on the Type 38 I have not seen before. I unfortunately could not get good pictures of all the markings due to how small they are. My major curiosity would be that three...

There are a bunch of parts also, and he said they were from this rifle and another. Any ID help of what this thing is would be very appreciated. Also what parts go to this thing...

    Hi everyone. I am new to the japan WWII firearms. Just bought a type 38, but I can't date it. The serial number is 69018 and should be from Kokura Arsenal? Please correct me if I am wrong. I can't really see what series it is. Probably a series 25? Again if I am wrong, please correct me. Is it...
  8. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    A gentleman offered me a bubbad type 99 and what he said was a wartime Type 38 carbine. At first sight it looked like a vet had just cut down a type 38 long rifle but after looking through my copy of "Military Rifles of Japan" I'm pretty sure it's a cavalry carbine. He says that the follower has...

    Hi there, I planned to get my hands on a Type 38 for a long time, and now I've got one in reach, which got a suspicious good-looking -marked- single-piece stock. Does any of you experts got any idea if this is an original? I have read that either Chinese or refurbished Japanese Type 38 could...
