tinkerfive Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'd just guess that someone chucked a military barrel in a lathe and did some customizing. What is the land and groove pattern? If it's 4 then I think it more likely. Tinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob58 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 What is the land and groove pattern? If it's 4 then I think it more likely [military]. Tinker 4 grooves/lands with grooves about 3x width of lands. Any idea about country of origin? I'll need to try it out and see how it shoots. It's bright/sharp and looks new.

Bob58 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmm. 7.7 is dang close to to 7.62. I chambered a spent 308 Win. case and placed a .308 bullet in the crown to test the bore size. That's how I "concluded(?)" it was 308Win- I could be wrong because that contour seems similar. I need to research and see what dimensions that Japanese round is.
