What a blast! Everything worked great. I shot some Silver Bear and that worked fine. Switched to some Hungarian with the lacquered cases and after five rounds the bolt got a little sticky. Not bad, just took a good slap to open it. Didn't shoot any groups worth bragging about but with my eyes I always do better with a scope. The Hungarian seemed to group a little better but it always takes me a little while to settle down and shoot so that could've been the difference.
The trigger has a lot of creep. Seemed like I could pull it a mile before the thing went off. I got used to it though. The recoil wasn't bad, about like shooting slugs through my 20ga NEF shotgun.
All in all, I'm real happy with the rifle. I think I'll get another one, you know, just to have a spare.

Ya might as well get a short one (or two) also.. The M38 and M44 rifles are inexpensive and also great fun to shoot..

Just watch out.. Next thing you know, you'll have more than a dozen.

I think I'm going for an M44. With any luck my C&R will arrive the same day as my tax refund!

You can't go wrong with any of them, and getting them at C and R prices is always a plus!!

Just be ready for a bit more of a fireball with the carbines..

Are good M38's easy to find? I think I've only seen one place (forget which one) in shotgun news that offers them. I'd kind of like to have a non-bayo carbine.

SOG has M38's for $89.95 each, or $84.95 if you buy 2 or more.

M3's are still to be had! Beware the bargain basement prices! Do your homework! You'll be glad you did!

[Geo M44]

Steve... ya need to hit the hay. M3's were gone a long time ago.

[SwedeSteve]
