    Just picked up my first Japanese milsurp rifle. From what I can tell from my research it is a Type 38 carbine from the Tokyo Arsenal and is chambered in 6.5 x 50 Japanese. The bore is pristine and the bolt functions flawlessly. Just picked up a box of ammo ( kind of hard to come by except on the internet) and I can't wait to see how it shoots. Never had to much interest in these but this one was too good to pass on. I do have the dust cover but it is not in the pictures. Let me know what you think.

    Definitely something you don't see everyday. Interested to hear how it handles. Good find.
