6.5 Arisaka - 01/13/16 08:19 PM
Took my Arisaka to a gunsmith to see if a probable headspace issue could be fixed. Answer- NO! Definitely had a headspace issue, but the worse part was the chamber was eggshaped and the bore oval as well. Smith said it would take a minimum of $350 to $400 to even get it in decent shooting shape. Gun not worth it to say the least. Will take that money and get a better functioning rifle that does not require any repair (as long as financial manager- aka "WIFE" approves). Was really looking forward to using that rifle for the local deer population and to possibly whack a piggy or two and varmints. Now have to see if the rifle is worth anything (& if any interest)as a "parts only" sale.
