That must have been a heck of a long rifle for a WWII Japenese soldier to wield. The Carcano is almost toy like.

I think that my Turk 38 MAY be a bit longer than the 38 though. Anyway they are similar.

I think it's longer than the '95 Chilean or 91/30 Mosin. Shortest is a M30 Persian Carbine. I don't remember what it measures either. ETA-- Swede '96 is longest in my collection, but I was wrong about the shortest. The M1 Carbine is about 36", the M30 Persian is 37 7/8". Last Edited By: Bryan 45 04/21/08 08:07 PM. Edited 1 times.

Longest are Swiss Vetterli M.78 (51 7/8 inches without bayonet), and Chatellerault Mosin-Nagant M91 (51 1/2 inches without bayonet, 68 1/4 inches with bayonet). Shortest is Steyr M95/34 (39 1/2 inches). I had a cute little Carcano M38 carbine but it was very slightly sporterized so I sold it.

Even with that incredible pigsticker bayonet.

Austrian Kropecheck 1886 FUNKY caliber! with bayonet and scabbord (also unfired.....doubt I'll EVER find one of those rounds!) Geeze: I have a lot of unfired (by me) guns! Maybe this week I'll do something about that as I want to get some "weekday range time in" and have an excuse to go over town and put in some more applications. GREG
