Critical .38 receiver

The critical .38 receiver is a weapon mod for the combat rifle, hunting rifle, pipe bolt-action and pipe revolver in Fallout 76.

Effects
The critical .38 receiver causes an affected weapon to use .38 rounds in place of its typical type of ammunition. It lowers weapon damage in exchange for a cheaper, more common ammo type. It also improves the critical shot damage of the weapon.

Crafting
Weapon modifications will modify an existing weapon, and any modifications previously equipped on the weapon will be destroyed, not unequipped. Loose mods cannot be crafted. For modifications unlocked through scrapping, the corresponding weapon must be scrapped in order to learn how to craft it.
