Ah good memories. My Grandpa was a WWII vet ( he was on Japan for the surrender) and he had a 6.5 Arisaka. I took it apart and cleaned it once and was amazed at it's simplicity. He told me I could shoot it and told me the ammo was in the closet. I looked but all that was left was two empty boxes of Norma ammo. His boys must have shot it all off. At that time you couldn't find the stuff very easy so I never got to shoot it and he's gone now and so is the gun. I bought a 7.7 a few years ago but the cartridge didn't interest me like the 6.5 so I sold it.
