The Type 44 was, therefore, based on the Type 38 Cavalry Rifle. The "carbine" - or "cavalry rifle" - classification described the weapon as a shortened form of an existing "long rifle" design - namely the bolt-action Type 38 service rifle which, itself, was developed into the Type 38 Cavalry Rifle. As such, the weapon was used throughout the nation's various conflicts in that span and survived in circulation long enough to see combat actions in the upcoming Korean and Chinese Civil Wars. The type led a long and storied career within the ranks of the IJA and saw production span into 1942 during World War 2. TLDR: eBay seller is lazy and doesn't want to.make any money.The Type 44 Carbine (also known as the Type 44 "Cavalry Rifle") was a standardized Japanese Army bolt-action carbine weapon designed in 1911 by famed Japanese gunsmith Baron Arisaka Nariakira and introduced into Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) service in 1912. I just don't understand how people can run a business like this.

Apparently he does not want any money as he was no help at all. I asked him what I should do and he told me he didn't know, look at the pictures? His pictures were taken from a mile away and you can't see anything. I asked him if he could clarify what screws were and he told me he could not because he doesn't know what he has for sale on eBay and he cannot search his own sales very easily. The guy said he saw my message on eBay but didn't get back to me because he was busy. Fast forward a couple weeks later I decided to see if he had a storefront so I could call. I sent him a message with a diagram showing him what I needed and I never heard back. He has some stuff labeled but the other stuff just says screws with some other numbers after it. The seller is a long time member and sells a lot of gun parts. I didn't have to touch much of anything as it was "original" and un molested. I did buy a K98 russian capture this summer.

cool! I will take you up on that offer! Thank you!!! Will give you chance to get it looking better until you decide what you want to do. It is lightly pitted over its surface but usable. OP, if you want it you can have this bolt body for the cost of shipping: Technically all you'd need for the bolt is a bolt body.For clarity, prices I mentioned were if OP wanted to sell his bolt.įor his project, OP does only need a bolt body. Does anyone sell just the bolt handle? I could chop and weld this one as the bolt is just fine.Just find and buy a bolt body.restoring bubba'd milsurps is not for the weak or the cheap.there is a thread about midway down about is it worth restoring bubba'd milsurps.Ĭonsensus.no, it is not, if you aren't doing it out of love, you might as well not do it.you will not re-coup your costs anytime soon.
