Recently picked up this Type 38 for pretty cheap, all matching # and has a dust cover and bore is still in shoot-able condition, what should I begin to learn about Arisakas, I know I'm going to have to learn loading for this caliber but any tips would be helpful

Very nice.
Are you wanting to do more Arisaka research cause you want to buy more? One of the biggest Arisaka knowledge things you can have going to a show or when buying is to be able to ID the difference between a purpose built mil-issue rifle and a school/training rifle.
Otherwise, learn to reload 6.5 although there is still plenty of Bannerman and Norma online.

It's pretty simple to ID the actual military rifles. They always (well, 99."9%) have their model designation marked on the receiver ring.

The gun shows here rarely have Japanese rifles, the only two I've seen were a sporterized arisaka, and a Type 18 rifle. I think what I should've written was the reload quirks as >>64921890 explains, as this would be my first rifle (among my 8mm) I would like to learn handloading, but I was seeing that some 38's on r*ddit had messed with the brass.
How is Bannerman and Norma 6.5 with the 38 other then the price being high?

Going through some old pics to contribute to a slow thread.
Grandad's IBM carbine.
Not happy about the sanded stock, but it was his.
I also have his surplus colt 1911 and the associated paperwork from when he got it. He paid $17 shipped.
Do you guys have things left over from your grandparents?

I have dad's dad's dogtags, discharge papers and his uniform from the USAAF, and mom's dad's copy of the Bluejacket's Manual from the USN. No fireams however.

No, because in typical boomer fashion, they either sold it all to make a quick buck or moved to the other side of the country and refuse to talk to their kids and grandkids. Idc about valuables, but I'd love to have my great grandfathers ww2 medals. He was one of the survivors of the USS Indianapolis
