6.5 Ammo

That's about right. Certainly not going to find them for much cheaper.

Very few companies manufacture 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka; you're looking at about the best price you're going to get. Handloading is a must if you want to shoot this rifle with any kind of economy.

I personally believe the arisake action is stronger than the mauser action

>>32795092
It is.

>>32795112
Also, the Arisaka is a Mauser action but it is on steroids.

>>32795092
There's no "personal" about it; it's a confirmed fact that the Type-38 action was stronger than the Mauser 98.

>>32795118
Eh.....not really. Mauser inspired certainly, but I would say there are enough differences to call it a separate action.

>>32795228
What are the differences that doesn't make it a Mauser then?

>>32795285
It's cock on close as opposed to cock of open for the large ring (98) Mauser, the safety, the difference in the dimensions of the locking lugs, the use of the bolt handle as the "safety" lug, and the gas mitigation features, as well as bolt construction and disassembly.

>pic related

is this an eastern european version of 6.5? i cant find any info on it. also might it be suitable for the arisaka?

>>32795592
I have a 6.5x55 swede mauser

>>32795592
also, its 7.62x25, not 39

>>32795592
that's 6.5×55mm Swedish

>>32795592
It's Swedish Mauser ammo. Won't work properly in your Arisaka.
