Guns Listing ID: 652388
The Arisaka Type 38 (Model 1905) is a 6.5mm bolt-action rifle adopted in 1906, serving as the standard Japanese infantry weapon for decades. Designed by Major Kijiro Nambu, it features a strong Mauser-style action, a 31-inch barrel, a sliding dust cover, and a 5-round internal magazine, known for extreme reliability and low recoil.
Key Characteristics and Features:
Design & Adoption: Developed around 1905 (Meiji 38) and adopted in 1906, it replaced the Type 30 to improve reliability, focusing on a simplified bolt.
Cartridge: Fires the 6.5×50mm Arisaka semi-rimless cartridge.
Action & Safety: The bolt uses a \"cock-on-close\" system (similar to Mauser) and features a large, palm-operated safety mechanism.
Dust Cover: A distinctive sliding metal dust cover protects the action from dirt, designed based on lessons from the Russo-Japanese War.
Construction: Known as one of the strongest military actions, featuring a two-piece buttstock for wood conservation and superior strength.
Dimensions: It is a very long rifle (roughly 50s inches /1,275mm total), designed to favor infantry bayonet fighting.
Markings: Top receiver typically features a 16-petal chrysanthemum (\"mum\") stamp, indicating Imperial ownership, which was often ground off on surrendered rifles.
Variations:
Long Rifle: The standard infantry model with a 31-inch barrel.
Carbine: A shorter version (roughly 38-inch overall length) used by cavalry and support troops.
With over 3 million produced (primarily at Tokyo, Kokura, and Nagoya arsenals), the Type 38 was famously reliable, though its 6.5mm round was considered underpowered by WWII compared to newer 7.7mm rifles.
