After watching an episode on C&R Arsenal Mae's top 10 World War 1 rifles, high marks was given to the type 38 Arisaka carbine, and they were mussing that if it only had this feature and that one, it would be the perfect rifle, that where would you get a rifle like that? https://youtu.be/1gP43fa-ujk?t=4639
Well, After some contemplation, I knew exactly where I could get a rifle like that! Buy a Bubba'ed shooter, experiment and add features that I prefer, seeing what difference changes make.
What I will do if I have to, is take a broken drill bit, grind/dremel it to size and shape needed for 6.5 X 50 bullet mold, and using my drill press and vice, form-fit/machine my own bullet mold from a blank Lee die, but that's a lot of work I don't have to go through, if I can locate a bullet mold at a reasonable price.
I enjoy home gun crafting, experimenting and modifying to suit my purposes, having little interest in collectible gun safe queens, preferring instead shooters that I'd actually use.
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions are welcome
