Hi Guys,

So in 1960 my uncle in law, who served with may dad, and bunch of other friends and relatives in the 1st Filipino regiment during WWII, gives me a T-38. It's complete minus bolt, the mum intact, bayo, scabbard, and sling. He tells me that he brought it back from island hopping.

The first thing my 8 year old self does is.....cut the stock, cut the barrel. Gave the bayo away, lost the scabbard, the sling stank.

Got a bolt in 2012.

Found a partial box (18 rds) of Hornady 6.5 in a local LGS for $15 bucks yesterday.

Today, I ran a snake, took the firing pin out of the bolt, loaded 5 rounds in the mag. It stripped, cycled, and ejected all 5 rounds without a hitch, smooth as glass.

The last time it had rounds chambered, the shooter was trying to kill some of my people...or maybe he did? PAX
