One of my favorite M-N's! (the other is the M39) I have two of them myself. If you've never seen it, the fireball from an M38 at dusk is beautiful. Hah!
Just make sure it's firmly against your shoulder when ya fire off a round. I know a guy who didn't and got a filling shook loose.
I like the M38. I haven't got one yet I have the m44,a finn m39,and a half worn out M91/30 made in 1936.sholling wasn't kidding,they reproduce at a crazy rate lol.
I got in online at GunBrokers.com. The guy I got it from was called milstuff. There are some good buys and some way overpriced buys. Of course you have shipping fees. He has some 91/30s and M44s and I am not sure if there was anymore M38s.
