I have one that had been chambered for the "257 Jap"....guess they figured at the time that anyone that shot the rifle would know that it is .264 instead of .257. I did the same thing and shot .257 Roberts in it until I figured that one out. It was actually pretty accurate out to about 75 yds or so (most of the time :D). When I finally fugured it out and started to shoot .264 bullets out of it it got alot more accurate
.
I did install a Timney trigger and safety and it is one of my favorite hunting rifles! If I had to mess with the original safety that would not be the case!!
