New to me Arisaka Type 99
Really nice relics you have there guys! Arisaka rifles are in a class of their own. They are very cool to research. And a ton of fun to shoot! My Nagoya T-99 (1939-4O) and Mukden T-38 (probably same time period) were inexpensive years ago. Sadly their mums were defaced and both had been...- j8064

Cost comparison of factory vs. reload ammo
Whelp, here we go again :rolleyes:. Alucard pretty much sums it up in his first sentence. As others have posted, reloading is a combination of cost savings, necessity and hobby with some passion mixed in. I’ve been loading my own ammo for 35+ years. I can’t recall when I last purchased... -
My First M1 any help would be great.

Carcano Calvary Carbine
Carcano relics are fun and interesting rifles and many varieties. OP, you have a nice looking cavalry carbine worth restoring to shooting condition. 6.5X52 ammo isn’t easy to find or inexpensive. Reloading is definitely a better option IMHO. Original rounds were loaded with .268 RN bullets...- j8064

Sharps rifles, anyone?
A better question is at what range can 4570 & BigRick hit pigs and chickens? I’ve seen their achievement pins. Very impressive… :innocent0 -
Sharps rifles, anyone?
We Hooligans have been known to make white smoke with a wide variety of Sharps from time to time. :innocent0 -
Do I want a Taurus ?
firemn260: Like always you'll get many varied opinions on Taurus handguns. I can only add my personal experience about the 2 in my collection. - I bought my Model 689VR .357 new in 1995. It's seen a lot of range time since then. It's one of the most accurate revolvers I have. - A few... -

Just a pair of Ruger Old Army revolvers...
There are many ways to shoot BP. Flintlock ignition is fun. Cap and ball rifles & pistols are great. And BPCR’s are awesome. Don’t know where you’re located but you are welcome to shoot with us Hooligans in Garrett Co anytime. :thumbsup:- j8064

Just a pair of Ruger Old Army revolvers...

Become active here and soon you’ll be able to. Out here in Western MD we Hooligans routinely shoot BP in a wide variety of pistols and...- j8064

Tokarev!
You, sir, have the ultimate Tokarev. My Romy, Czech and Polish TT-33's are simply wannebes. A Russian Tok is in a league of it's own! :bowdown: Yep, pistols that fire 7.62x25 rounds can and will send spent cases into orbit. With full power loads the cases may wind up in the next county...- j8064

Tokarev!
Like Bertfish I'm very curious where you picked up a 9mm conversion kit for your M57? While i still have a healthy stash of 7.62x25 surplus ammo (and I can reload rounds), that caliber comes out on special occasions. I quenched my Tokarev 9mm thirst with an M70A several years ago. Fun shooter...- j8064

Hi-Point Carbines
That’s an older pic and I really need to update it. I put the ATI stock on that 995 a long time ago. It changes the look and is fun. I also have a 995TS to go with it. The 4095 is in its original Monkey config so we have that contrast. My 380 and 45 are newer TS versions. Sooner or later a... -
Hi-Point Carbines
Hi chestnutlouie. First, since you joined the forum several years ago, you might contribute a little more so you can access the Water Cooler and become involved with the community here. I’ve posted a lot about HP carbines in that section… :innocent0 I have all the Hi-Point carbine calibers... -

M1 Carbines at Classic Firearms
That would be my interpretation Arcamm. Often reworked relics are electro-stenciled with different S/N's by importers. My bet is they have importer marks somewhere. Worth verifying before buying. Yeah, M1 Carbines have sure gone up in price (like everything else). Glad I got mine many years... -
30-30 Cast Bullet Issue
Also get yourself a .309 sizing die and some 30 cal gas checks to go with the 150 gr mold John alerted you to.
