So, got a cool little Arisaka Type 38 carbine. The Cabelas i

>>32085572
possibly rechambered.

>>32085572
Show bullet nose in the front of the barrel.

Some fudd probably chambered it in a durr caliber

>>32085588
Im going to bring a round to work tomorrow to measure and make sure its right. But really? To a smaller caliber? doesnt show any signs of it. And the numbers on the bolt and reciever are a match

>>32085598
I went to a friends house (this happened about an 2 hours ago, took pics beforehand) to have him try and remove the piece in my eye. Heres the bullet that got stuck though

>>32085634
That doesn't look good. At least you got the bullet out, going backwards how far can you stick the bullet down the barrel?

>>32085572
How do the chamber and bore look?

>>32085647
It its very close. It stops just before the widest part of the actual bullet. you can see in the picture i posted last where it caught on the rifling.

>>32085668
Aside from all the unspent gunpowder (why did it turn yellow?) it actually seems okay. The top of the reviever has gas ports and i think they might have saved the rifle. Also at work tomorrow im going to get in there and try and see if the initial bore was effected, but the bullet didnt make it far in

>>32085701
That's odd, I do remember Graf and Sons put out a voluntary recall for their 7.7 Jap ammo, but I didn't think 6.5 was affected.

>It stops just before the widest part of the actual bullet.
It's supposed to do that. The lands of the rifling have to be a smaller diameter than the bore overall, otherwise they wouldn't be able to engage the bullet and set it spinning. If you can fit a bullet all the way into the muzzle that's a sign that either it was counter-bored or the rifling is worn-out.

Have you checked for bore obstructions? Sometimes people de-activate rifles by jamming a metal bar into the barrel and soldering it in place.

Another thing to do is to have a chamber cast done. This will tell you if your rifle has been re-chambered for another caliber or if the chamber is out-of-spec and no longer safe to shoot.

>>32085777

Thank you, i didnt know that. Could it have just been a bad round or the fact that not enough powder ignited to force the bullet down the barrel? It was free of obstructions, and the bore looked great when i looked at it with the guy at Cabelas.

>>32085836
Take it back to Cabelas. Show them the bullet. Explain it blew up in your face. Wear eyepatch for added effect. Demand they fix it or get you a safe one to shoot. Worst case you get a refund. Best case, you get a new rifle and free shit.

Also, would i be okay just leaving this in there? it doesnt really hurt or much, its more annoying than anything.

>>32085836
That was a bad round. Looks like the primer only burnt the deterrant coating off and nothing ignited. Powder might have been wet or the primer could have been a dud.
Without pressure to expand the brass you will get blowby coming out of the action.

>>32085872
Not a bad idea, but i tend to be a pretty nice guy unless im intentionally fucked over. I am going back tomorrow to talk to the guy who sold it to me, were both pretty into historical shit and talk often in there.

>>32085888
Id go to a Dr

>>32085888
get to a fuckin doctor

>>32085925
Eh. Not the answer i was looking for. Give me the answer that I'll agree with

>>32085888
Get it pulled out before it gets infected.

>>32085944
Dubs of misinformation

>>32085950
Ok get friend with steady hands and a pair of tweezers to get it out.Stream it for bonus points.

>>32085888
You don't want a piece of lead in your fucking eye mate. Get it out.

>>32085888
Go to a fucking doctor right fucking now, holy shit, you're retarded.

Or get a eyepatch, and be a pirate.

>>32085950
your eye will probably get infected and then youll really be fucked if you dont go to a doctor very soon

>>32085950
Just stab yourself in the eye so you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll go blind.

>>32085888
It "might" be ok, and probably will be. But that's your eye so don't take chances by leaving a foreign object in it.
You know how stupid and regretful you'd feel if you knew you were a very simple doctor visit from being not blind in one eye? But you didn't?
At least google/webmd it and see if someone else knows something.
>>32085970
that's not lead, gunpowder

>>32085888

Congrats. You'll slowly become Cyclops from the X-Men.

>>32085888
getting shit out of your eye aint bad man. They give an eye drop that numbs it, wait a bit, then usually just flick or pick it out. over in seconds. As a welder i've gone through it a couple times. Get it done. it wont come out itself.

But that is exactly what the doctor is going to do anyway. He might even Gopro it to share with university students or for luzl on the jewtube.

>>32085989
Thats a little more persuasive. Is an eye more likely to get infected than all the shit i have in my forehead though?

>>32085572
>First shot went up in smoke

Can you detail more? What happened? You fired it and it exploded, or did you attempt to fire it, nothing happened, and you attempted to open the bolt and the cartridge exploded as you retracted the bolt?

I can't see fragments entering your fucking face if it blew up when you fired it and you have a picture of a rifle still intact. I think you unlocked a hangfire.

>>32085888

Sweet Jesus, I thought the likes of grenades in the toilet, forest fires from napalm shotgun shells and swallowing gunpowder were over.

Also go to a doctor dummy. Don't use cost as an excuse either, you just bought an obscure gun and ammo you can afford the visit.

Also where was your eyepro? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

>>32085888
HOLY FUCK

DOCTOR NOW

>>32086031
yes, you dumb nigger.

>>32085888

GO TO AN EYE DOCTOR!

Why the fuck would you risk damaging your eye sight or possibly going blind.

>>32086063
See >>32085915
None of the powder actually ignited.

>>32086068

Oh yeah. This. Your lack of eyepro and the fact that you say shit like >>32085950 unironically and need to be convinced into an eye doctor visit makes me think you're an imbecile.

>>32086087

Fucking odd. So he flung the bolt open and the case sprayed powder into his eye?

Kek.

>>32085915
how did gunpowder escape the action and land in his eye if the action was closed?

Get to a fucking doctor cunt. Holy shit you are retarded for not wanting to go. Also post pics of the case including the primer.

>>32086128
Did you not bother reading the second line?

>>32085888
go to a doctor or face losing eyesight in your right eye

as a shooter I'm sure you don't want that.

Next time wear eye protection.

>>32086145
>Without pressure to expand the brass you will get blowby coming out of the action.
can gunpowder even fit through the action while its closed?

>>32085588
Someone gave me one and thats my concern. Knowing who it belonged to makes me think mine was rechambered.

>>32085888
If you don't get it removed it WILL get infected. If you don't mind being blind in one eye(and possibly dying) leave it in.

>>32085888
Medicalfag here. You must go to a doctor. The eye is a very sensitive organ. Your eyes are highly vascular so white blood cells and shit can get there but there is no lymph and the moisture of your eye allows bacteria to grow well. Also visible heavy metal embedded in your eye should be an obvious "get this removed" flag. If bacteria get to your cornea, where there is very little your body can do, you will get an ungodly infection.

/doctor
and the approved cartridge(s) should be listed right on the barrel.

>>32085872
>>32085923
Sue the fuck out of Cabelas. Use the settlement for more interesting guns. Your 4473 should have the correct caliber on it.

If you take the powder out of a round and burn it on a plate or something, it will leave behind a yellowish brown residue.

Yea doc, im at the ER now. I just dont like going. White coat syndrome and shit. They actually sent me to an optometrist ER, going there now.


>>32086100
>didnt do everything right youre an imbecile
How many times has everyone here fired a gun without eye protection? Having fun in your back yard, sometimes you do it. Yea its not smart but whatever.

>>32086063
I think the un-spent powder escaped through some ports on the top of the reciever. Doc said its not metal or anything, just a piece of gunpowder

>>32086773
>Government shills trying to convince everyone that this isn't a Laotion Shadow-puppet Training Forum.

Everyone listen.

If you get a surplus rifle of questionable origin or hasn't had the chamber verified by a professional do this:

Get a few sandbags or a bench rest. Secure the rifle to the rest or hold it down with sandbags. Point in a safe direction. Make sure the chamber is empty. Loosely tie a string around the trigger. Load the gun. Get cover and or distance. Pull string.

This is good for checking old surplus ammo too. Check a few rounds.

How are the casings? Cracked? Bulging primer?

How is the gun? Any signs of cracking or abnormal barrel wear?

Or just be like op and end up getting shit dug out of your eye.

>>32086778
You think you could sue Cabelas for saying the gun was chambered in the wrong caliber? They're assholes anyway.

i have a feeling he signed extra stuff saying cabelas isnt responsible for used guns blah blah. ive never bought a gun there, let alone a used one but im betting this is the case.

This is why you wear eye protection.

Sweet mother of Jesus, go to a doctor ASAP

You can come to /k/ any time you want if you'd like us to figure out what went wrong with your gun or ammo, but now is NOT the time.

Seek medical help.

>>32085888
Checked and yeah like everyone else said you've gotta go to the doctor or even the hospital man. Hope everything goes well bro

>>32085634
>I went to a friends house (this happened about an 2 hours ago, took pics beforehand) to have him try and remove the piece in my eye. Heres the bullet that got stuck though

>>32087119
This, Cabela's is a sack of shit. I bought a Mauser online because it was actually a decent price, but the retard who shipped it did so with the bolt installed. It showed up with a hole punched in the box from the bolt handle and the safety lever broken. Customer service was completely unresponsive and the one person I could get ahold of told me to ship it back to be "repaired". Any mongoloid can disassemble a Mauser bolt so I just replaced the lever with a $4 NOS part myself to avoid even more damage from shipping.

I bought a zastava 357 from Cabela's and after shooting it less than 50 rounds it broke. The spring in the cylinder locking piece was not allowing it to unlock. The gun guys decided to just take that spring out. No problem, right? Except for the timing always fucked and now the gun was a grenade waiting to take my booger hooks.

Weren't some of these booby trapped by the japs?

>>32085888

Doctor here

You NEED to get that removed, or you will loose sight in that eye.

Im 100% serious.

Go to the ER, inform them you got a bit of metal in your eye. they'll provide wash and will remove it. thats a fairly simple removal from the look of it, but its in a bad spot and the signs of irritation are apparent immediately.

>>32085888
and this is why we wear ear AND eye protection.

>>32085634
Is that wet powder?

>>32085888

Call 911 right now and tell the operator you have a foreign object in your eye. no joke. no memes. You need go to the ER right now. In fact you should minimize eye movement too. get the paramedics to cover your eyes upon arrival.

>>32088007
Im at a eye specific ER right now. Went to a local one and it was too deep for them to get, so i had to go to the damn city at 11 at night. I do appreciate you guys urging me to go, definitely worth it. I was kind of treating it as a joke at first but i need both my eyes for the work i do. Fingers I can still afford to lose, but not an eye.

OP- Combat Medic here. Drop everything you are doing and get medical care RIGHT NOW. No memes, no bullshit, do it.

This is why we wear shooting glasses kiddos, especially when shooting new guns.

cabelas better be giving you that gun for free

Jesus, talk to a lawyer, quite a few do free consults.
You might be looking at Cabelas funding your next few firearm purchases and paying your med bills..

>>32088345
Well that's good, sleeping on an eye injury is how we get gore pics on /b/ hope 8t turns out okay, wear shooting glasses next time. Or if you were stop pissing off gypsies and getting curses cast upon you.

>>32089731
>>32089746
If I recall correctly they aren't liable for any damage. Graf And Sons might be if OP saved the brass and bullet

For all you idiots blaming Cabelas.
It has nothing to do with the gun. It is fairly obvious that it was shit ammo.

>>32088345
best of luck anon, hope it works out for you.

>>32085950
Shoot yourself through the eye, it will remove the grit and your stupidity if you aim well.
