moparman426 5 Posted April 18, 2010 i was there three weeks ago when i bought my M&P15. i must have missed that one. i think i was too focused on the Garands they had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

autoxnyc 4 Posted April 20, 2010 I recently acquired a T-38 with mum intact in decent shape. Where can I find decent priced 6.5 Arisaka ammo these days? TIA - Daniel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIA - Daniel http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?p ... ber=962664 holy crap, RCBS dies for 6.5 Jap are $150!?!?!?! I can get you lee dies for it for $30 or so. Your best bet for a caliber like that, reload. Although, Norma still makes ammo for it. checkout surplusrifleforum.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docwalt 1 Posted April 21, 2010 Norma is usually about 30-45 dollars for a box of 20. Check out gun shows if you can.... half the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldsolderjoint 84 Posted April 21, 2010 I saw a bubba'd Arisaka at Valley forge like 2 or 3 shows ago, they were only asking like $60. Had a pretty nifty amateur camo paint job on it. But NIC's was down because of the snow. And I'm pretty sure it had been re-barreled.. so lots of "what-if's" there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
autoxnyc 4 Posted April 21, 2010 http://www.grafs.com/product/266180 Thanks. This is probably the cheapest 6.5 jap ammo i've seen. Anyone has any experience with these? I guess I have to start reloading if I'm going to shoot this thing often enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 4 Posted April 27, 2010 I have an inherited Arisaka Type 99 which shoots 7.7 X 58 JAP. I normally buy Hornady from Cabelas for $25 a box: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0037464215974a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=hornady+jap&Ntk=Product_liberal&sort=all&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
