Anyone have M38's for sale?

[Guest USMC 2013]

I'd like a carbine/scout rifle and thought playing around with a M38 would be fun.  Anyone seen any for sale?

 

For those that have one, what kind of accuracy can I expect?  Semper Fi,

Those don't come around very often.  My brother in law has one and it is a blast (literally) to shoot.  The shorter barrel makes it report like a cannon, and the fireball at night is enormous!  Very fun to shoot.

With Russian surplus and a decent bore mine is around 3" MOA rifle on a good day.

If you find any let me know! I've got plenty of m44s and t53s, now I need an M38 as well!

I would check pawn shops...I scored one last week in Manchester.  Seems like some pawn shops aren't hip that they are alot harder to find than the M44's and 53's.

I just picked up a 91/59 ....Bubba had burnt tigerstripes in the stock. metal nice but the @hole did not clean it ...let you know how bad bore is after I clean it.

That's a shame. With a little love, the bore should be ok

Wow, the M38's are going pretty high now.  I also thought the M44's this guy is selling are priced pretty well though.

Seem to be about the going rate for M38's anymore, they just dont come up for sale very often. My guess he would take less as they have been for sale for the last few days with only a couple of them sold.
