These 7.7 and especially the 6.5 Jap actions are not normally poorly made unless they were origionaly made up as training rifles or the ones known as "last ditch" models. Do not fire it under any circumstances until it is carefully looked at. This really isn't the time for good ol boy guessing but you really need to see someone who is an experianced gunsmith. There also seems to be some "battering" on the bottom of the recoil lug. What you see might be the remains of the old rear sight sleeve but what someone has done to it is anyones guess. If you were to ever fire that form of barrel with the pressurers generated by the 06 I would for darned sure have my life insurance policy paid up. He might be refering to using "skelps" and hammer forging a barrel such as was done with the early flintlock barrels but you were only looking at very poor quality black powder at low pressurers. Hate to put the scare back into you but no- there is no such thing as "hot crimping" any barrel together. You learn more and more and then you die. Had the c**p scared out of me - never saw that sort of thing before. No worries, as Crocodile Dundee would say. Perhaps someone reading this with metal working experience can comment further on it. I have so much to learn about these MilSurp rifles ! I had thought that the people/person who had converted it to 30-06 had bastardized theīarrel in some way - cut it or shortened it - whatever.Īparrently what you see was done when the barrel was being manufactured - he thinks.Īnyway - normal metal forging stuff. The linear marks are either stamping marks or marks left from pulling theĪnd that may have been done even before they cut the bore in the barrel.very tough metal, also. The metal is red hot and when it cools the joint is essentially as strong as if it were one piece. That is a technique of hot crimping metal barrels together with a hydraulic press while I sent that photo composite to my friend who is a Machinist Genius and he said That is a 30-06 Converted Arisaka that Elmer is carrying ! Ohhh.some of you may be too young to remember Elmer Fudd and his Kill those pesky, iwwitating, wabbit paper taugets with weduced woads. There would be "blow by", but I ain't out to shoot no Elk - just out to You really don't think those four lands will grab this bullet and spin it up ?
Went fairly easily after the initial forming at the beginning. With a wood dowel and the rest of the way out with a steel rod. I proceeded to lube one up and pound it into the receiver end Thinking that you may be correct, I figured that it ought to be easy to push So you folks think these 309 bullets will not get spun up in this barrel. She could have gotten a man with more money and income, Having said that.she is usually right ! After all, she picked me ! I will look into this Ivory thing - my wife is probably wrong. Judging from the style I'd put it in the mid-60's which would make it a $10-25.00 stock new. Fajen tended to have the higher quality wood. Bishop stocks were mostly economy jobs to medium quality, although I've seen a few higher grades hunks of Bishop wood through the years. I certainly don't want to disagree with your wife, or anyones wife for that matter, but if that butt plate says Bishop I highly doubt it's ivory.

The only way to use then is to either "bump" them in your sizer or paper patch them.309 down a. 309 boolits are not going to do well in a. I wonder what the Stock alone is worth ?īill. Strip between the white and the wood may be Ebony. My wife who is into gems and jewelry thinks it is Ivory and the black
The yellow-white stuff on the stock has fine cracks running the length of the material. I washed the old, "powdered from age" Lube off with Mineral Spirits and they look This bunch of old cast bullets (0.309) should work fine. No evidence of a Chrysanthemum or it being ground off has me wondering.Ī friend says the rear of the receiver may have been set up for a rear
#Type 99 arisaka 30th series serial number
Pictures show the Serial number - Series two - 70,848 of 99,000 madeĪnd has a pictograph after the Nagoya Arsenal symbol. What kind of Arisaka would not have ever had a mum ? I have not slugged it yet, so don't know the exact bore size.
That is a Bishop Stock ! Is that Ivory on it ? WHAT IS IT ? ! No mum, nor any evidence of a Mum having been ground off !
He wanted $114 for it.couldn't pass it up. Go worked.No Go didn't go - an unmarked 30-06 converted rifle ! He wanted me to buy it and THEN chamber cast it ! Lord ! However, having learned the hard way that many of these rifles have beenĬonverted and not marked as such, I challenged the store owner to try toĬhamber an empty 30-06 case. It being sold as a 7.7mm and chambered a 7.7mmx58 empty case that I carry in my car. Was looking for a 7.7mm Arisaka in decent shape at a Pawn/Gun Shop and
