Best rifle ever I won my first 600 yard vintage match with one of these

The type 38 is chronically under appreciated.

arisakas are so under appreciated, one of the best bolt rifles ever made.

February 11th. Japan is National Foundation Day. Thank you for the wonderful video.

You haven't let us down yet, please continue this series.

Had to watch this as soon as I saw it pop up. I've got a Type 38 my grandfather brought back from the Philippines in WWII. It even have the bayonet and sheath with frog to go with it. It's not in the best shape, but I cherish it.

Missed my chance at an Arisaka 38 with 90% finish and a deep, crisp mum. Still kicking myself.

There was a Type 38 Arisaka Carbine. My dad had one when I was a kid. The 6.5mm ammo was difficult to find back then, I think he bought Norma soft-points for it. It was really nice, still had the chrysanthemum on it, even. Unfortunately, he sold or traded it many years ago.

I can watch Mae all the day and never get tired ❤❤

My grandfather, who died, had military service experience and was awarded a medal by shooting with this gun. He used to say that this gun was a highly accurate gun. However, there were some who said that the quality varied and that some guns had low accuracy. I read in the biography that some of the people ordered to train in shooting secretly marked guns with low accuracy.

We love you Mae!

38式歩兵銃❗日本の銃を紹介してくれて、ありがとう👍

I remember in history class this arisaka 38 with the 762 ammo was mainly used in ww2 in china they call it the "三八大盖" which roughly means the 38 big cover.

Idk why she is so charismatic by just firing a gun and talking about it

Excellent, always delivered so well, cheers

Love the channel and content. Thanks for all your hard work, Mae. We all appreciate the consistency and quality. Hope these minute videos get a million views for you. God bless.

excellent presentation as always. love your calm voice tone!

Thanks Mae, short and sweet.

And this example still bears the Imperial Chrysanthemum. It is just forward of the bolt opening. Most rifles saw the mark ground off after the war.

I sometimes worry about how happy Mae is firing those guns...but most of the time I just smile along with her and enjoy the moment. :)

Love the minute of Mae series

Looking cool Mae

I love how C&Rsenal covers weapons from so many oft forgotten parts of the Great War.

Something about these bolt action rifles make me feel so relaxed when I hear them shooting

Just picked up a really early one, Koishikawa arsenal with a serial number of 521,17X. These things are beautiful, the finish and action are so much nicer than the later Type 99s.

The arisaka series of rifles are some of, if not the best bolt action military guns ever made. I love them

I really Like these. Thank you guys.(That is the minutes of Mae)

Love me some minute of Mae! More!!

The algorithm is all-wise, for it brings me not one, but two visions of beauty in this video. My obligatory, yet slightly stalkerish-sounding, comment has pleased the algorithm, thus assuring more Minute of Mae gems.

Im a simple man. I see Japanese rifle and I hit like.

Can't complain. Very nice short vid😊👍

One of my 5 favorite guns to shoot. I LOVE my long 38.

Another minute well spent.

I had a neat customized Arisaka rechambered for 300 Savage. Beautiful lightweight rifle that kicked like a mule.

excellent show, both the short and long form

YAMATODAMASI！

My late grandfather was a veteran of the Indonesian war of independence, this rifle was his first rifle. The funny thing is he didn't know what the name of this rifle was (Arisaka), he just called it "karaben Jepang" (Japanese carbine)

The best weapon channel with no bulshit.. excellent work

thanks for the video.

I absolutely love the channel and the awesome videos, you might feel the same way nothing better then a good bolt action rifle, keep up the great content 👍󾓦

Did you all see the gas leave the gas holes on the first shot that was amazing.

Great video

That soundtrack rocks.

One of Mae's favourite

Very nice! Thank you very much. Those are excellent rifles.

Big fan of Mae !

Wow, that looks loooong!

Thats a extrem good Rifle :) , the difference to other weapons is only the caliber. the 6.5x54mm ammunition has a lot of power in my eyes. I also like the look of the weapon. The version type 97 as a sniper rifle very successful only the rifle scope is very getting used to.

I’m interacting, yay!!

Lovely weapons demonstrator.

I have an Arisaka type 99 complete with the Emperor's Seal... that someone bubba'd into 300 savage, changed out the stock, and heavily modified the barrel :'(

I was told I have the best permanent shit eating grin over the smallest things, but you madam have taken that trophy away from me!

God, i just love those recoil

三八式歩兵銃！

Ive got a type 38 with no bottom metal or stock in my basement. nice bore and intact mum, covered in grease. it needs the mark novak preservation done, and aforementioned parts.

Yay!

I have an old 257 Ackley built on this action. Great rifle.

That drain hole idea is pretty clever. Japan would be fighting in islands and jungle soon, after all.

I had one. The safety was embossed with a Chrysanthemum. It was very good shooter but way too long.

Almost missed this one, very nice rifle

Recoil of Type 38 rifle is soft, so it is easy to handle for small Japanese soidiers and women.

My only complaint is the three I've seen were rough on the brass. No idea if it was the samples or differences in the specs on the ammo. Great guns tho.

Amazing

Nice reloading action 🤗

Apparently it locks open too? Love what u guys do!

there is a Thai Rifle name Siamese mauser type 66. It's almost look like Arisaka type 38

nice seeing gas escape from the bolt head. is it not sealed? Never seen that before on a bolt action unless the case explodes. seen at 0:45 or about.

Happiness is a warm gun! 😂

There is a carbine variant, actually. It was for auxiliary troops.

Love my type 38. Is it my imagination or did I see gas vent on 2 of the shots taken?

Mae i totally understand about long combersom weapons.im not exactly tall myself and also being in a wheelchair and some times unbalanced,handling a long weapon like that can be a little daunting

Favorite bolt action antique

素晴らしい😃

Saw some venting from the gas ports, case failure? I have two unground ones, one carbine and one full battle rifle.

Notice the gas venting up out of the rifle on the first shot? Was it coming out of the vent holes or somewhere else? Punctured primer perhaps?

Have one of these. Cool gun, hard and expensive to shoot. Length of pull is way too short. I love the history, it's a great collectable.

I want one!

I read that soldiers often removed the dust cover in the field.

So, I guess Type 99 and Type 38 _carbine_ are almost ideal bolt actions for WWII then? Plus a bit of simplification features Ian liked in M38 Carcano and maybe a 10 round magazine since it uses 6.5x55 anyway.

Mae still seeking the perfect rifle

Praise be the algorithm

ਆਈਸਾਕਾ ਦੇਖਣ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਸ਼ਾਨਦਾਰ ਲੱਗੀ ਇਹ ਰਾਈਫਲ ਬੋਲਟ ਵੀ ਵਧੀਆ ਜੀ

I'd smile like that too if I shot that A good friend of mine has one similar

You know what? When I show this to my grandpa he shouts horrifyingly and tells all of us to shut all windows and doors.

Please try the Chiang Kai-shek rifle.

Looks like a good shooter.

Sweet rifle.

That was Maevelous...

三八式は日本人の体格に合わせ小口径なのに、殺傷力、有効射程が余り変わらず。しかも、長銃身のおかげで精度もいいという、実は名銃。まぁ、その長銃身のせいでジャングルでは邪魔だったようですが…

So is it Arisaka pronounced with a り or a れ? I only took Japanese 101 but there's a pretty big difference between the two. The romanization would indicate it's り but I hardly ever hear it pronounced that way.

Did anyone else notice the gas safety bleed off hole at the chamber spout on the first shot? I wonder if it was bad brass?? Maybe an overcharged round?

A beautiful gun with a beautiful woman

Comment for the stats and things

Don't lower your bolt action when loading can load from top much quicker and better in war 👍

More reprocussions!

A handsome thing indeed!

Shorter? Try the type 38 carbine for artillerist and engineer and enjoy!

👍👍👍

she's Hot

I need to find out which Arisaka my mother inherited from her father. And if it’s worth repairing. I know the chamber is cracked.
