Japanese Arisaka in 6.5x55 Swedish
I've got an old Jap type 38 in 6.5 and I've been thinking about having it rechambered to the 6.5x55 Swedish round. I know that this conversion used to be real popular; so, if any of you have has done this I'd like your opinions about the rifle and the round. Also,did you have to alter the magazine any?
Just in case you were wondering the mum is still perfect, never been touched, but my dad cut the stock down and cut the barrel down about 6 or 8 inches back in the 60's.
Thanks!
