The Type 99 was a simplified and less expensive rifle from the beginning, but Type 38's were well made and equal in workmanship to anything turned out at Oberndorf, Enfield Lock, or Springfield. I have a Type 38 short rifle that I defy anyone to find fault with in regard to quality. Everything is forged and machined, the rust bluing is perfect. But the "mum" is ground!
