Hey, maybe a good way to finally get some mileage out of that 7.7 Japanese Arisaka bolt rifle thats sat alone all this time. Long ago purchased a chamber insert sleeve from Ace Dube to convert it to 7.62x39 but just sat on it. This is a better alternative, IF I can find the .311 bore bullets that fit it. Factory ammunition is off the chart expensive.<br /><br />For you lefties above, Dad was a leftie too and confined himself to lever actions (Winchester - Marlin - Savage 99) for his center fire uses. He did have a Remington 788 left hand bolt action, but the recoil from that bothered him a bit.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-25571904330271101262020-04-25T06:37:39.485-07:002020-04-25T06:37:39.485-07:00The first blog, 2006-2012.

Jim’s old blog (I think it was the James M Dakin blog?) was troll central. Here at this site, we have a way worse troll than punisher, that posts here, and apparently, I’m the only one that can spot him? I won’t drop any names, because I don’t want to cause any messy flame-wars for Jim, but yeah, this dude is something else. Every time this cocksucker posts here, he takes vicious pot shots at the folks in fly over country (knowing full well that this is the primary survivalist demographic). The astonishing part? He totally gets away with it, and know one calls him out on it???? Apparently, he’s just subtle enough to fly under the radar. <br /><br />I wish Blogger had a block feature, but no such luck. There’s at least two people that post here, who’s posts I have to constantly dodge (The one troll mentioned above being one of them) because they’re just too painful to read. Fortunately, both of them post under a username, so they’re easy enough to spot and avoid.

I had started to reload for both of them and not wanting to seat the bullet where it could get into the lands I made up 2 cases where I split the neck and put a bullet where it would just stay in the case and then loaded both of the cases. Neither one touched the lands of the rifling what so ever. The 8mm is a 1.5 min of angle gun and the springfield is a sub min of angle gun both at 100 yards. They do both have perfect looking bores and the crowns are both good as well.sjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529005584879037582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-11423117821191908952020-04-23T18:07:00.776-07:002020-04-23T18:07:00.776-07:00Right handed bolt operation from the left shoulder...Right handed bolt operation from the left shoulder...<br />If you are right handed and need to shoot from the left side of cover, OR, if you are left handed normally, the switch is seamless with no reduction in bolt speed once you practice. You can use the Lee Enfield "mad minute" bolt technique with almost any bolt action design (except the Mosin Nagant) right or left handed. If you're right handed, mount the buttstock on your shoulder like normal, right hand on the grip OR the bolt knob, and left hand on the fore end. Then, to shoot from the left side of cover, or if you're left handed, simply switch shoulders. DO NOT SWITCH HAND FUNCTIONS. Your buttstock is now in your left shoulder, left hand on the fore end, and right hand running the bolt. Same hand operation, different shoulders ONLY. This may seem awkward at first, but go through a bunch of dry firing and rapid shoulder switching for coming up in different locations from behind cover after reloads and it will feel normal. A shorter buttstock is helpful when shooting from the left shoulder with right handed bolt operation.<br />Romans 14:11Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-43695164630165314972020-04-23T17:53:13.993-07:002020-04-23T17:53:13.993-07:00At least he didn't wake you up inside the Turd...At least he didn't wake you up inside the Turd like the (?) raccoon did.

You're fighting the recoil spring. I'll make it work. A few more months, I could sell the lot for big bucks. But what am I going to do with paper cash? Might as well use it for the intended purpose ( besides the failed Ghost Gun ) of light weight, light recoil, heavier combat ( with quicker loading ) during the die-off. Then return to a better weapon.

Yes a bolt action is easier for a right handed person but over the years i have developed my technique and am almost as fast as a righty. Your left hand is your trigger hand and remains on the pistol grip of the stock instead of on the for stock as a righty. Develop the strength to support the rifle in the ready position as you bring the right hand back to cycle the bolt. A bit harder to stay on target but doable. I toyed with a lefty 22 mag and wish I had bought it but it felt very awkward after shooting right hand rifles for years.Nightshifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463940857394060911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-44195083440548153782020-04-23T11:09:52.953-07:002020-04-23T11:09:52.953-07:00Reply to jl.

The biggest problem I run into is with black powder rifles,percussion cap fragments coming back in the face is no fun.<br /><br />30-30 isn't bad, but the one I had kicked back AND down at the same time. Not a huge problem, but definitely different. <br /><br />Hard to go wrong with a 12 gauge, I am a big fan of the single shots that can be easily converted to black powder if need be. I even learned to fire them off hand, so my shoulder injury isn't a big problem. Not something I trust a rifle to do, you really need a cheek weld with them.Wrenchr2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03970779022776650104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-12394688487860170942020-04-23T10:44:23.102-07:002020-04-23T10:44:23.102-07:00I must have missed the ambidextrous part, though m...I must have missed the ambidextrous part, though my overall impression of the AR bolt conversion was that you weren't all that thrilled with it.

I do have a left handed .22 bolt Ive had since the early 80s and Ive been on the fence in regards to buying a new lefty bolt in a more substantial caliber such as a .308 or 6.5 Creedmore but good grief, the cost is astronomical! And on top of that Im the only lefty left in the family, so that makes it an extremely specialized and expensive tool... Now I'm leaning more toward lever action 30-30 carbines. They've got their issues too, but at least their more or less ambidextrous. I feel pretty well squared away on arms and ammo with the exception of a "large game" rifle. Worst case, Ive got the 12ga. slugs, but I still think a solid rifle above 5.56 that the whole tribe can run would be a wise choice.jlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662563822328082468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-20006243600762758192020-04-23T09:49:41.208-07:002020-04-23T09:49:41.208-07:00Yes.

They have to be back bored internally near an inch depth to find enough lands and grooves to stabilize even their sucky bullets enough for their red kerchief wearing young pioneers to qualifying standards. Then consider metalurgy heat treating standards of a command economy run by communists with drinking problems, and of course the prior battered wife like abuses that a comrade gun endured over decades. Hmm? A BTN butter knife starting point yes, but like a skanky wrench woman opportunity, best to pass it off. Stay frostiest with those "be best" bolt guns.

Every so often, they would offer surplus Mauser's. They were re-chambered for a more common caliber, and I’m pretty sure they were pre-1898, so you could buy them right through the mail, no hassles.<br /><br />I’ve never been a semi guy, personally.
