Shooting the M1 Carbine: December 17th, 2011
Переглядів 1,8 тис.13 років тому
Just plinking around with my M1 Carbine. This rifle was purchased at the Fall 2009 Rochester NY Gunshow. It's a National Postal Meter built rifle, which was built right in the city during the war! It's a typical post-war rebuild and an Israeli rifle imported by Century Arms. I'm not the best shooter, and as I mentioned the sights were a bit messed up by bubba, so the groups aren't too good.

Shooting the M1 Garand: December 17th, 2011
Переглядів 1,5 тис.13 років тому
Today was the first snowy day in December here in Western NY, so it seemed like a fitting to take out the M1 Garand and do a bit of shooting. This M1 Garand was hand picked in January 2010 from the CMP North Store and is a Field Grade. The receiver is a 6 digit late 1941 production. In January 2011 I went back to the North Store and bought a new stock set for it, since the original wasn't very ...

    Hello, I'm appreciating your video and expertise on the Arisakas. If you have the time, could you please check out the short video on made on my 'new' aquisition--I don't really know what I have--It doesn't seem to fit the exact descriptions of a 38, 99, trainer, etc. Any help would be appreciated. My channel is Chris and Matt--Big Shots, and the video is "Arisaka! What do I have?" Many Thanks, Chris. ua-cam.com/video/aD-qVRfGGYY/v-deo.html

    Hi. I have a couple of quick questions. I have what I believe is an early Type 1 Type 99 Nagoya. It's one of the ones that has the earlier "cavalry" type sling swivel on the rear. I didn't realize this or the significance of it till I ordered a sling (and cleaning rod, more on that in a sec) and when it arrived today tried to install it. Of course it does not fit properly through the rear swivel... it has to bend up the leather on each side in order to fit through it and then it doesn't move back and forth easily as it should. It's hard to tell from pics or videos, but you showed the comparison between the rear swivel types... my question on that is will the later type swivel and base fit in place of the early "cavalry" type swivel, or is the base a different size? If the same, I'd consider just getting the later type swivel and switching them in order to use the sling I have. Failing that, do you know if one of the quick release web types will fit on that swivel? As I can exchange the sling I have for one. The other question. Based on what I was told on the Arisaka forum on Facebook, I got the rod for the Type 99 "Long" rifle. Ends up it's like around 2 to 2.5 inches or so too long. It comes out well beyond the muzzle when the tip should line up with the front of the front site. Several forum members suggested there might be a blockage... a sliver of bamboo was suggested. Yet the rod goes in and out easily/smoothly and screws in with no problems. Just too long on the front end. So my thought is if there was a blockage it would be tough to put the rod in or take it out and it probably wouldn't screw in correctly. My sister (who also collects) has several paratroopers... out of curiosity I tried one of those rods on mine... it fits and is just a "little" tight on the front end of the rifle... but it goes in and locks into place and release when the square button under the stock is pushed. But mine is not supposed to use a paratrooper rod from what I understand. I'm still learning about all this and at this point would just like to finish off the rifle. It has the monopod, AA sites, dust cover, full mum, clear markings, etc. I've shot it and it's a dream... smooth as silk and a joy to fire. Hoping you can help out on this so I'll know what to get or do to be able to have a sling and rod that will fit properly. Also being in North Dakota I'm hoping to get with a machinist friend of mine and try to make one of the cold weather site lifters so I can use that when having to use gloves in winter. Many thanks in advance!

    2 months ago my father gifted me the Type 99 that my grandfather brought home after the war, and this is the most informative video I've come across...well done. Mine has the aircraft sights and monopod, unfortunately missing the dust cover, rod and bayonet. (Dad lost the bayonet as a boy camping, heartbreaker...lol). The serial on mine is 44494. One thing I was hoping you could clarify is regarding the action of the bolt. I've only owned one bolt action (a 30/30), but on my 99 when you retract the bolt and start moving it forward (to chamber a round) you have to put a bit of pressure on about the last 25% of pushing the bolt forward (hope that makes sense). Not a tremendous amount of pressure, but it's certainly not a "free sliding action" like on my 30/30. Dad said he fired the rifle as a teen, but I wondered if this required pressure (or force) is normal, or if it has become damaged. Also, would you have any recommendations on a good place to find a replacement cleaning rod? Again, excellent video...and thanks in advance should you find time to respond.

    the existence of the screw on all sights could lead one like me to interpret that at some point it was intended that these wouldve been issued in mass to armies operating in some cold weather campaign that never came to be or they never had the material to dedicate to it.

    I just got a duffle cut Series 5 and oddly enough it has the chrome bolt face. All parts match so I'm guessing it's due to the low serial number of 2268? If I had to guess, it also had AA sights at one point, too.

She took 100 for each one. After getting them in my hands I realized one was not an Arisaka but actually a North China type 14 clone.

    I enjoy these videos as I do enjoy Arisakas . It`s giving me some insight on witch series mine maybe as the series stamp was poor and I havn`t been able to make it out yet. But I`m making headway now that I know they quit chroming the bolt face at a certain time. It`s had me going off and on for years as I always wondered what I had as it looks to be a very low mileage model if none .It was packed with cosmoline when I got it but that dose`nt mean much. I have heard of collectors coming across new barrelled actions before. But mine was a complete rifle all #`s match except the dust cover mismatched.

  • @TokioExpress
    @TokioExpress 2 роки тому

    Do you have any information as to where your 4th Series came from? I’m asking because my rifle serial number is 49640. I’ve had a theory for some time that the 7th Sasebo was rearmed with Type 99s in early 1943, which I read is when they were transferred to Betio. Late 1942/early 1943 seems to be when most of the 4th Series was made and since it also seems that military units were rearmed from Type 38s to 99s according to availability, I think that some went to Betio. There’s also photographs of dead SNLF personnel and post battle Marines walking around with 99s with monopods. Major conjecture moment but I would love to find out anything more about this series.

  • @arisukak
    @arisukak 2 роки тому

    I believe the short cleaning rod is more for stacking the rifle than for cleaning. I have also seen one 6th series rifle with a straight stock splice. Had the proper cleaning rod catch and all. There is always little oddities that show up in Arisaka production.

    • @chils161
      @chils161 2 роки тому

      Could be either way. Hard to say for sure as there’s not a lot of documented or first hand information on those small rods. And you can see random things like a straight splice into other series as well it’s not uncommon, as mentioned, that the Japanese didn’t follow a “first in, first out” style use of parts. But on the whole you stop seeing the universal use of that style of stock on Nagoya rifles by the mid 3rd and on. Thanks for the comment!
