Where to begin..... Problem #1) its a freakin ARISAKA fer cryin out loud. #2) As stated above, it is a barrel made as cheaply and as quickly as it could be made and still shoot "minute of american" at typical combat ranges of WW11 #3) If the barrel was not set back quite a bit before it was re chambered you probably are blowing out these cases a good bit at thier rear as the Jap rounds are fatter at thier base and first 1/2 inch or so than the 257 Roberts case back there, and the chamber is pretty sloppy. Not good for accuracy. #4) It's a freakin ARISAKA!

My advice, sell it and the dies for a song at another gun show and count your losses as a lesson learned. Then, go buy a good rifle. Lots of 'em out there for probably about what you have invested in the original rifle + $140 for dies + bullets and components. Either way, good luck - and Imean that most sincerely. MARK
