Overview
This pre-owned Arisaka Type 38 is an authentic example with the mum still present, chambered in 6.5 Jap and fitted with a 31.5-inch barrel. It is suited to collectors and historical firearm enthusiasts looking for a genuine military rifle with visible character and period appeal. The stock shows a chip and a crack, though the listing notes that these do not prevent the gun from functioning correctly. Offered at a price to sell, it may also be a candidate for refinishing for a buyer who wants to restore its appearance.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Pre-owned condition with a chipped and cracked stock; the listing notes it should not prevent correct function, but it is still a visible cosmetic and structural trade-off to consider.
- Priced as a collectible/used rifle rather than a pristine example, so it may suit buyers comfortable with restoration or refinishing work.
- Chambered in 6.5 Jap, which means ammunition availability and suitability should be confirmed before purchase if you plan to shoot it regularly.
