[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 1004415, member: 4899"] I recently came into ownership of a small part of family history. It was the Type 38 my father brought back from WWII. It was missing the internals of the bolt which I was lucky to find right here on our board. Thanks Donald. I haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet, but did mange to get it cleaned up. That was quite a chore in itself as it didn't appear to have been cleaned since coming back to Oklahoma. Knowing the history of it, it will become a family heirloom. The Arisaka actions are considered one of the strongest milsurp action out there. As a result many were used to build custom rifle as they were quite inexpensive to buy for many years. To find one in complete and correct condition is getting harder and harder to do. As a result they are fetching nice prices. Many are still used in their original condition as sporting rifles to this day. Nice find enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
