The Karabin samopowtarzalny wzór 38M (Kbsp wz. 38M, English: Self-repeating rifle Model 38M) is an experimental Polish semi-automatic battle rifle. It was designed by Polish engineer Józef Maroszek in 1934 for a Polish self-loading rifle trial. His prototype design was selected as the third place, and development continued. In 1935, Maroszek redesigned the rifle with his team in six weeks, five prototypes were produced in 1937 for testing, and 55 units were ordered for troop trials in 1938, to be delivered in 1939. However, the outbreak of WW2 in 1939 and the simultaneous invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany cuts off any further developments of the rifle.
In the United States, this rifle was subject of controversy, because a exemplar of the gun owned by Virginian gun owner Kristopher Gasior, was bought back by the Polish government which later sent a thank-you letter for "preserving a important piece of Polish history".
