Shooting an Arisaka Type 38

Here's myself shooting my Arisaka Type 38. The ammo I was using was halfway decent, however, because of it's age, it didn't function the way it should. It also needs a new firing pin so it's a miracle that it even fired. The reason you see me reloading the unfired three rounds is because I noticed the pin wasn't striking deep enough so I would try it once more.

@JTelli786 Unless you want to gamble, look to buy one that you can hold and inspect yourself.

How reliable/accurate is this rifle, the 6.5mm ones specifically.

[MosinDragunov1891]

@TaZ101SAGA I would strongly recommend the Type 38. The 6.5mm round is very light but powerful and is very accurate. I would be sure to buy/load quality ammunition for it to ensure the best results.

The problem with mine is that the firing pin does not protrude enough from the firing pin hole to strike the primer reliably. I'm working on fixing that problem.

@andrezunit The AR15 and the M16 are essentially the same rifle. The AR15 is just the civilian legal version of the M16. The main difference is that the M16 is select fire military rifle while the AR15 is the semi-automatic civilian rifle. They operate in the same manner and in the same form.

keep up the good work on the WW2 rifles. They will never lose their value and they are a great piece of history.Screw all the jerks that leave neg comments.

Just a word of advice, next time you hear the firing pin drop but the round doesn't fire, wait about 30 seconds before cycling the action. You never now if it will hang-fire. Nice rifle by the way.

@andrezunit The two are the same except M16 is military and AR 15 is for civilian and I think they are overrated everywhere I see the gun on every single gun article and thats my opinion.
