This "as is" rifle that seemed to only need a scope and some hard to find ammo is turning out to be a much more involved project, but I am determined to get this rifle shooting. I read somwhere that the shoulder angle was slightly different.

I have found dies available in 6.5x257 but obviously there is no commercially made ammunition, and at this point I don't reload.YET!!! I have found 6.5x57 mauser (7x57 necked down) made by s&b, but don't know if it's the same as a. bullets refered to as 6.5x257.257 Roberts was derived from 7x57 mauser. 257 roberts cases handloaded with 6.5 cal. More research indicated it was very common for jap rifles back in the '50's, before 6.5 jap ammo was available, to be rechambered for. I could tell immediately from the brass that this rifle had most likely been re-chambered, but to what? The round on the left is one of the handloaded 6.5 JAP rounds. I cautiously chambered it (it chambered easily), fired it (no issues), and ejected the spent casing to find this: Now I've got the rifle scoped and ready to fire (if only I could find 6.5 JAP ammo!!!) I had been to a dozen or so gun shops over the course of a month seeking ammo with no luck when a friend of a friend loaned me a box of his handloads.įINALLY!!!!! I took it to the range this past sunday and inserted the first round and thought the mag well seemed a bit large (about 3/8" longer than the round). drive) I was able to exchange the mediums I had bought for extra highs.

Back at the shop where I got the rings (40 min. I had to wait to get the scope till me next pay. First I bought a sling and a set of scope rings (also got the windage screws I needed at no charge. There are no import marks and the mum is intact so this was a bringback though it has no collector value in it's condition. I did some research on the markings and found out that is actually a Type 44 carbine from the Nagoya arsenal made between 19.

turned down bolt (actually the bolt handle was cut and a diff. Redfield scope base (no rings and missing rear ring screws)(could see intact mum under the base but obviously with holes drilled in it)Ĥ. It took a week to convince myself (pretty easy) and my wife (not as easy) to take a chance on it. I really liked the way it felt when shouldered and it was in excellent condition (no rust/perfect bore). I talked to them about it and the story was that it came out of an estate and they didn't what had been done to it. I saw this sporterized Arisaka Type 38 in Allegheny Trade Co.
