  1. 90 bucks??!!! thats what i'm talking about! there was a 6.5 jap receiver only with a barrel that looked like it just came outta the ocean and it went for almost 200. THAT IS NUTS! i am still in the market for a 1917. i am bidding on one on gunbroker if it goes too high guess my search will continue. or..... does anyone have one they would part with? btw... have i mentioned Huber triggers? damn those are awesome. just installed my second one. i wanna do all my milsurp rifles with them. lol
  2. the auction was a bust! everything over priced and i was out bidded in seconds. lol if you didn't have at least 500 per gun wanted you were out of it. no doubt there were some very nice firearms there but the ones that were "not so good" were snapped up fo hundreds over value. i will stick to local little gun shops and gun shows. i did get a Jap99 very cheap, but at a small shop minutes from the auction.
  3. I LOVE THIS PLACE! you guys are a plethora of information. i am glad i am a member.
  4. i got a live person on the phone from conetrol. i will be going with their base and ring system on the Jap rifles. a gunnur base with huntur rings on one (134.88) and a huntur base with huntur rings on the other (119.88) s&h is extra. THANKS for the info!
  5. what other calibers can the 1917 be re-chambered to other than the fore mentioned? what other guns have the same barrel thread as the 1917? would i be needing to look at a custom barrels if re-barreling?
  6. what should i expect to pay for one of these. they are all over the board. gunbroker bidding gets outta hand. i am going to a live gun auction tomorrow. lets see what that brings. i know there is like 4 or 5 arisakas in it. thats all i need ... another one of those. lol funny thing alot of ppl do not know about the different things you can do with them. will be on the look out for a 1917 or 2.
  7. i actuallu like the original trigger guard and bottom plate. plus no need to shorten the mag box. still looking to get one of these 1917s. i am from pa so the eddystone is on the list for me. might get all 3 and figure it out. maybe a 1,300; 1,375 and; 1,416.
  8. i have seen the "duck pond" wondered what it was from. why is it there? what do you fill it with if you have that? one of my arisakas had ( what i think it called) a dovetail peep and i took it off for scopeing. i wondered what i would do there. thought about getting a piece machined to go in but filling sounds easier. idk
  9. very cool! loving the ideas
  10. gonna be scoped anyway. but didn't know about the brittleness. kinda learning as i go.
  11. sounds like i might be taking this on. like the 375 idea!
  12. yeah its a 1917 remington reciever only. i was also looking at a 1917 eddystone w/barrel. good call on looking for cracks.
  13. i have been looking at this 1917 action (original style trigger guard and floor plate) without a barrel . among some of the other projects i have going on.... what can i do with this? IDEAS??
  14. thanks. ya' learn something new every day.
  15. That is a fine looking piece. nice job!
  16. that would be awesome. let me get this scope mount nailed down. i am still having issues with that. waiting on conetrol to get back to me, STILL. i recieved an e-mail this am from conetrol, finally. they were not very specific and i need to give them a call. not sure what else i need to give them except my c.c. but i will call.
  17. sporterizing old milatary rifles is addictive.

  18. i did get a message from one member. but i can not find it again to write back. gee wiz anyway, i was looking to do something similar, as the pictured mauser bolt, on the arisaka bolts.
  19. I know what TPI stands for but what is the meaning of V? 12V TPI
  20. in addition to looking for a Leupold or good scope mount..... i am wondering who had a low scope bolt built, and by who. who does bolt handles for the arisakas? The Bolt Man does not do them anymore.
  21. Thanks! I fired off an e-mail, waiting to hear back from them. still up for more ideas.
  22. i have a Japanese Arisaka Type 38 and want to put a scope on it using a Leupold Std. mount. Leupold does not list it on there moount chart. I found a Weaver top mount for it (not using it) and it has a list of firearms that it works on, one being the Remington Model-7. Would the Model-7 Leupold mount one work on the Arisaka? i think i will have to do a little machining on the mount, but would it work? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Oand BTW...... Huber Concept Triggers, amazing! I put one on this and what a huge difference. ok, I look forward to some ideas and i know this is the place to get it. Jeff
  23. picked up a craig some time ago for 40 bucks, just for the stock. actually getting around to work on it. pretty sure its not a carbine. take a look at where the front and rear sights use to be. i think the rear is how it was originally mounted but the front looks "hokey". any ideas on what to put in their place just for asthetic purposes. it is getting a scope, it has the side mount base on it already. look forward to the responses that will sure follow. thanks, Jeff
  24. I was actually looking for one that is already done and ready to ship. they said at best, it would be multiple weeks out. multiple!!?? next suggestion. anyone?
