mod. type 94 pistol.

[toot]

I have a mod type 94 JAPANESE NAMBU pistol, and ammo is about as rare as hens teeth. does any one have six loaded rounds that they would send me so I can say that I have had the pleasure oh having shot it?

[toot]

Btt.

[ebb]

My friend George has several Nambu pistols and I looked for dies to load some for him, the cheapest set of dies I could find was over $300. He has still not shot his and I don't know if he ever will.

[compass will]

Here is a place (https://www.steinelammo.com/handgun-ammo/vintage-military-pistol-ammunition/) that makes it, but out of stock.

[toot]

ebb. WOW! what in GODS GREEN EARTH makes dies cost that much for it? so I guess that I also will not get to shoot mine also. it is a going to be a paper weight.!

[toot]

compass will. a great site if they had anything for sale! the only thing for sale is 45 LONG COLT.

[toot]

some body out there must have 6 that they will send me? I will send them back the fired brass. oh well. thanks for the reply's guys.

Appears to GONRA that yer best bet is (attempt) to backorder some
8mm Nambu ammo from STEINEL AMMO,
patiently wait whilst watching to see what else shows up as tyme goes on....

In the collecting business, PATIENCE is the key!
Took ~40 years before I got my first 5 rd. en bloc clip for my 14.5mm PTRS-41 AT rifle!
NEVER GIVE UP! !! Whilst seeking a second 10 rd. en bloc clip for my .276 Pedersen rifle,
5 beauties (with ammo) showed up. Ya'll Just Never No on this stuff!

While we're at it, anybody out there hava few 5 rd. en bloc clips for
the WW I 8mm Lebel French semiauto rifle? ???

[toot]

Castaway, NADA, don't got sum. OUT OF STOCK.

[toot]

patience is a virtue, posses it if you can, allays found in woman , rarely found in man!!!

Check CH4D.com I think they had this on their list, and doubt that they have sold many.

[toot]

Castaway, thank you, now all that I need is a set of $300.00 dies? that is why these TYPE 94'S are worth around $3000.00. they are fore sale on GUNBROKER.

[toot]

Btt.

[GONRA]

GONRA's WAAAY out of touch on collector Pistol Prices...
Assume ya'll's just kidding on $3000 for the Type 94? ???
LEMMENO.
THANX! !!

IIRC the sear is on the outside of the pistol.

Toot,

CH Tools does offer dies, whether they're in stock or not is another story. Price isn't too bad for a 3-Die set. https://chtoolanddie.com/calibers/8NamPis

As for Brass, you can size down 357 Sig brass, but my understanding is they may have to have the case heads swaged down to a smaller diameter. If you can find it, there is some new manufactured brass out there. Unsure of it's availability....

Bullet selection may be a little more difficult, I'm not up to speed on 8mm options, I don't have a Nambu pistol....

If you cannot find ammo, this may give you an option for reloading for it. Besides, who wouldn't want to have a way to handload for their pistol...

If converting brass, check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi5s6xHrojk

Call CH4D and ask! They will make the dies. They can tell you the expected wait time.

[Shawlerbrook]

$70 for 50 isn’t a bad deal these days.

[toot]
