I going to replace the master cylinder on my m38. What is the best one to use? Are there any U.S. made products?

Best one is the one Ron sells; he does not stock inferior parts.
None made here that I know of, like everything nowadays.

One site has original M38 Wagner rebuild kits sealed in a package from 1960!! I guess the risk is old rubber or leaking with these kits. Probably better off with new. John
