I'm going to go ahead and ask for a basic price run down on Type 38 Carbines. I know this is a hard task because every rifle is different with condition, arsenal, series, etc...etc. BUT, besides here my only other reference for current market price is on-line auction sites. So I'll ask the experts before I run out with my hard earned $$ to the buying waters. I've seen two non-matching, ground mum carbines sell for $250 in the last week on gunbroker. And I passed (because I don't feel educated enough on them) at the last gun show I went to last month, a private seller had a numbers matching, intact mum, excellent condition T38 carbine for $450. Which at the time seemed expensive, but once I looked online, now I've been losing sleep over it!
But as with buying guns online...there's always shipping and FFL fees. I really need to get my C&R as I want to grow my mil surp collection. I'd like to buy more in person, but my part of the country, I honestly don't see that many of the kinds of rifles I'm looking for. I used to live in OH/KY and went to the Show of Shows, that was amazing, but now I only find newly produced hunting and tacticool plastic things.
Thankfully the intar-web exists, and it allows me to per sue my collection even though I live between a red rock and a giant ditch. :thumbsup:
