Are there any books or web sites that have good information on type 44 rifles.
I just purchased a type 44 carbine and am trying to get some information about it.

I have a Type 99 Arisaka rifle that is missing the complete front sight. So I need the collar. retaining pin and the sight blade. I've searched online and haven't been able to find any source that...
For our 20th my wife bought me a M1 Garand. Coming up on 40 years now & can't wait to see what she gets me this time.
I've been told by several people that if you have a COE you can purchase ammo without having to go through all the new BS, and even still have ammo shipped to you from out of state. I've searched...
I wanted to load some sub-sonic rounds for my 300 black out, and found some load data for IMR Trail Boss. When I tried to purchase some of this powder I was told it's now made by Hogdon, And the...
Could it have been refurbished in India? I know my ishapore Enfields have a SA stamped on the buttstock.

I'm not sure when they started doing it, but quite a lot of No. 4 Enfields had their magazines stamped with the rifles serial number. I have two Fazakerly manufactured in 1955 that I got...
If it's got the original magazine it holds 12 rounds, not 10.
I just purchased a SVT40, and was trying to disassemble it to give it a good cleaning and lub before trying it out. I downloaded instructions for disassembly, but I'm stuck tring to remove the...
I've got a lot of Swiss GP11 brass that I would like to reload, and need to buy some Berdan large rifle primers.
Anyone know someone that is currently selling them, and has them in stock?
Thanks for the replies. As suggested I think I'll work up some new loads starting at the lowest powder charge recommended. With the prices suppliers are charging for primers these days I really...
A friend was moving out of state and his moving company wouldn't allow powder or primers in their truck, so he gave all he had to me.
He had several thousand CCI small rifle magnum primers.
I have...
Is one of the rear sights installed backwards? Both of my 1903 rifles (one made in 1918, the other 1935) have the adjusting knob at the front of the sight.
SRS is for Springfield manufactured weapons. Your's was made by Eddystone, so they would have no information.
I have a Winchester P14 that has a W stamped in the bolt stop. I would think if they were stamping them with a W when they were making the P14 they would have continued to do so when the switched...
I just purchased a gernade launcher for my No 1 Mk III Enfield rifle and would like to use it to launch tennis balls. does anyone have any experience loading gernade launching blanks? I'd like to...
My father in law has a S&W revolver that someone "worked on" years ago. It has a very smooth and light trigger pull in double action, but he has some mis-fires with my reloads. I use Winchester small...
Who makes the most sensitive small pistol primer? My father in law has a S&W revolver that someone has done some "work" on. The double action trigger pull is very smooth and requires very little...
I purchased a Rock Island 1903 serial # 338021 with a barrel dated 7/18. When I cycle test rounds through it the fifth round pops out when I extract the fourth one. In fact it is very hard to just...
The shoulders may appear rounded in my pictures, but they match up to new unfired GP11 brass very closley. I took apart some that I hadn't fired yet and confirmed the correct powder and charge were...
It was brand new 7.5 brass that had never been loaded that I bought from Grafs. I had these cases sitting on my reloading bench for awhile before taking the picture and the middle case got splashed...
Can anyone explain what’s causing this? This was new Frontier brass loaded with a Sierra #2115 FMJ with 42.5 gr of IMR 4895 powder at an OAL of 2.870”. They were fired in both my 1896/11 and K31....
I've tried them in the past with about the same accuracy as everyone else is reporting. I called them my "stealth bullets" since the sabot prevented the bullet from getting any rifling marks when it...
Not a real No 5. Some importers modified older Enfields to look like No 5 jungle carbines.
