    For some context, I picked up a Arisaka type 38 at a gun show for about 200 dollars just a few days ago, however with that price it was missing the entirety of the bolt. Wood is in good shape, mum was gone unfortunately, but other than that, rifling looks good and everything seems to be in...

    G’day everybody, I hope you’re all burning powder safely! I was searching the internet for a fix for converting .243Win brass to 6.5x50 Jap. By reading the threads I found Riceone (Roy) made/makes a body sizing die for this process, which I am thinking is what I’m missing. Could anyone help me...

    I have what I believe to be a 1939 Arisaka trench rifle in mint shape and mum still intact. I was wanting to learn more about it. Is it original? Value? And what ammunition?.
