No idea, haven't looked into it yet. I am torn between saving for a double in 500 NE or getting a .505 bolt rifle sooner. Though, I think if I get a bolt, it will not slake my thirst for a DR!Neither did I, which countries
Couldn’t resist any longer. This one is no longer available. Had an 1895 Win in 30-06 that killed a 400” bull near the four corners (by a prior owner) that unfortunately is one that got away. An 1886 and 1871 have always been on the must have list. So I’m excited.
Only that it’s been sold!Wow…what’s not to like about this one?
Agree… almost certainly an Arisaka…I believe it’s a sporterized Arisaka? I don’t know if it’s a model 38 or 99? The Chrysanthemum engraving on top of the receiver is missing but a lot were sanded off after the war. There’s a 99 at my local Bass Pro with a clear Chrysanthemum but they also list it as unknown make, model and cartridge. I told them what it was but the guy looked at me like I had two heads. I guess cause it wasn’t a black gun.
I just checked AH sponsor @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION website. They have Norma 6.5 Japanese brass and Norma 7.7 Japanese factory hunting ammo available. I was surprised.Agree… almost certainly an Arisaka…
They list unknown caliber… if it’s a 6.5mm ammo is a challenge to find, but it’s out there, and reloading is pretty straightforward …
If it’s a 7.7, ammo can be incredibly hard to find, as can be components…
If it were in its original configuration it would probably be worth the asking price… I’m not sure it’s worth $75 in its current configuration.. and only then if someone wanted a inexpensive toy that’s pretty difficult and expensive to feed..
Beautiful wood. Buy it!Ruger in 458 Lott needs a home. I cannot convince myself to buy it.
