Similar to the 7mm load, usually us.Although this lower specification is due to concern about the allegedly weaker actions of the older Mauser 93 and 95 rifles, this anxiety is misplaced, as the original ammunition developed for, and issued with, the M-93 Spanish Mauser produced an average pressure of 50,370 CUP in those rifles. A notably accurate round and a very flat shooter for its day. I forget the velocity but I want to say it’s about 2400 feet per second.

However, the weapon had numerous shortcomings, which were highlighted by combat experience in the early stages of the Russo-Japanese War. 2.11 Mexican Model 1913 rifle and carbineThe Imperial Japanese Army introduced the Type 30 rifle in 1897. Due to a lack of strength in its 6.5×50mmSR Arisaka cartridge, it was partially replaced during the war with the Type 99 rifle, but both rifles saw usage until the end of the war. The design was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1905 (the 38th year of the Meiji period, hence "Type 38"). A 39 conversion would require either setting the barrel back and rechambering it or a.762 m/s (2,500 ft/s) Type 38 cartridge 366–457 m (400–500 yd) (with iron sight) 2.37 km (1.47 mi) ( 6.5×50mm Arisaka) The Type 38 rifle ( 三八式歩兵銃, sanhachi-shiki hoheijū) is a bolt-action service rifle that was used by the Empire of Japan predominantly during the Second Sino-Japanese War and Second World War. Proof testing would 7.62×39mm (post-war Chinese modified) Did they make any converted Spanish Mausers into 7.62x39.
The weapon was produced in several locations: A dust cover was added because of experiences in the Russo-Japanese War that left rifles inoperable from dust. Nambu reduced the number of parts making up the Type 30's bolt from nine to six and at that same time simplified manufacture and disassembly of the bolt without the need for tools. Major Kijiro Nambu undertook a redesign of the Type 30, which was introduced in 1906.

However, not all units received the new weapon, and the mixture of types with incompatible cartridges led to considerable logistics issues during World War II. Designated the Type 99 rifle, this new rifle used the more powerful 7.7×58mm Arisaka cartridge already in use with the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 97 light machine gun. However, a concern that the 6.5×50mmSR Arisaka cartridge did not compare favorably to the ammunition used by the other great powers in the war led to the introduction of a further generation of rifles in 1939, during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
Kokura arsenal from 1938 to 1941: 49,500 units (est.) Tokyo Arsenal from 1906 to 1931 210,000 units (est.)

Its barrel was 487 millimeters (19.2 in), overall length 966 millimeters (38.0 in), and weight 3.3 kilograms (7.3 lb). In the case of a firearm, "Model" is a more accurate interpretation of the SHIKI (式) character, but the word "Type" has become well-established by collectors for decades.Intended for use by cavalry, engineers, quartermasters and other non-frontline troops, the Type 38 carbine was introduced into service at the same time as the standard Type 38.
There are three variations of this rifle. This model was introduced in 1911. The Type 44 cavalry carbine is almost entirely different from the middle band forward with an under-folding bayonet, metal nosecap, stacking hook to the left side of the nosecap and wide front sight guards. Hoten/Mukden arsenal from 1938 to 1944: 52,300 units (est.) Similar to the Type 38 carbine from the middle band back.
Some 14,000 were produced.In the late 1930s to the early 1940s, an unknown number of Type 38 rifles were converted into short rifles at Nagoya Arsenal, that did all rebuilds of Type 38 and Type 44 rifles and carbines. The scope was offset to allow loading by stripper clip and bolt handle slightly bent down. Type 97 sniper rifle As with the standard Type 38, but with a rifle scope with 2.5x magnification, the Type 97 was introduced in 1937. These additional features increased the cost of the carbine to 86.2 yen per unit by 1939. They have a unique storage compartment in the buttstock for a cleaning rod.
Spanish Mauser 7.62X39 Conversion Serial Numbers Or Arsenal
Although total production is unknown, it is estimated that approximately 100,000 were converted. There is no consistency to serial numbers or arsenal marks as the rifles were converted from existing stock. The end result is a Type 38 which is similar in size to the Arisaka Type 99 short rifle.
Chinese sources state that these rifles were made in China for Japan, but for whom it is not known. Type 918 rifle These copies of the Type 38 rifles are believed to have been manufactured at the South Manchuria Army Arsenal (also known as the 918 Arsenal), but very little is known about them. Estimated to have been 108,000 made. The receiver is marked 六五步槍 or "six-five rifle".
The 918 stamped on top of the receivers stands for the date of September 18, 1931 the date of the Mukden Incident. It has an under-folding bayonet similar to the Japanese Type 44. It is also not known if these were made before or right after the surrender of Japanese forces.
Approximately 40,000 carbines are thought to have been produced. The true military designation is unknown. The 19 may mean the 19th year of Showa Era or 1944. Like the other Type 19, it also has a cherry blossom on the receiver and not the Japanese Imperial Chrysanthemum and also says "North China Type 19" (北支一九式). Unlike the other Type 19 that is a copy of the Type 30 carbine, but in 7.92×57mm Mauser, this Type 19 is chambered in the Japanese 6.5x50sr cartridge.
Not only was the caliber changed, but the sights, bayonet and cleaning rod are different than the Japanese version. The receiver is marked with the Siamese Charkra with "Type 66" (แบบ ๖๖) written under it.
