The 7.62x51 in "full military" Type 38 Jap

[madsenshooter]

Rather than modify the boltface and such for the 38-55, wouldn't it be easier to turn down the rims to proper Arisaka diameter? I've made better fitting than what you can buy 6.5 Arisaka from .303 and 30-40 doing that.

Madsenshooter,

My logic was that it was only a few thousands off the bolt face, so an easy one time step that would then accept factory ammo too. If its preferred by someone modify all brass, that's okay too.

Hello Forrest,

I have not had to mess with the follower personally, but my mentor has suggested resin or use resin to hold a piece of shim stock. If its not right you only need a few hundred degrees to remove it.

You say: "If its not right you only need a few hundred degrees to remove it."

I do not know what your units refer to..

A 'degree' is a unit of angle, like when you turn a corner you have made a 90 degree change in direction.. Or possibly a degree of temperature like 32 degrees F is the freezing point of water ~ what is going on?

Sorry Forrest,

I was referring to heat.n If you you resin/epoxy on something and wish to remove it, you just need a little heat to do it. Thus, if you use resin to build up the side and later want to remove it, just put some heat on it.

Ah!

I understand.

~ I may try to bend the follower some and check to see if the 'pop-up' trouble changes.
