arisaka model 38

thanks guys for the quick response. anyone have any idea of the value? I only paid $100 for it.

That's probably a good price. Usually they're about $350, but it varies pretty wildly depending on the condition and when and where it was made.

here's a full picture if that might help price it a little better

Take it to an expert and have them tell you if it is a "last ditch" rifle. If it is indeed a last ditch, then it might not be safe to shoot. I personally am not very knowledgeable about Arisakas, but I went to a gun show earlier this month and saw some for that price; the guy selling them said that they weren't safe to shoot.

according to >>29504932 the type 38 was replaced with the 99 much earlier, so it's only the type 99 that you have to watch out for last ditch ones.
it also lists the defining traits of a last ditch rifle

Sporterized. Worth MAYBE 100
