    Arisaka Sporter

    We've had this in the family for quite some time. My grandfather had brought it and a very nice 6.5 Arisaka (unmolested) back from the war. This one has been a family deer rifle, and uses 30-06. Nobody really knows what it's chambered in, but it was rumored to be something like an Ackley...

    I want to build a Mosin-Nagant Obrez because I'm fascinated by something that is so goofy and impractical by today's standards but that served a legitimate purpose back when it was used.

    I have a dumb project I want to try out that will be based on a Lee-Enfield, but I would never tear apart an original-condition rifle.
