Just picked up my two new C&R rifles, a 1942 Lee Enfield and a 1939-45 Arisaka type 99, happy times!

Very nice rifles. Amazing the variation on the wood on Enfields, this is my 1943 No 4 MKI Where are you buying ammo for both of these?

[serjm1a1]

nice Enfield! haven't shopped around just yet, I won't be able to shoot until January :-( have a big trip coming up, gata save for that and we all know how expensive it is to shoot these bad boys

Makes me miss my Enfields! Probably one of my favorite actions. Now that in finally set up for reloading, I should look at getting another.

If you reload, 7.7mm for the arisaka is easy to make out of .30-06 cases.

I dont reload but I think it might be time I start

Congrats on your acquisitions. I see your No4 has the rear flip sight, use the smaller aperature for more accurate shooting. Who is the manufacturer for the Enfield?

Once you buy some ammo for each, I predict you will attend a reloading clinic and will get into reloading. New brass ammo for that Arisaka can run $2.00 per round. You can roll your own for about .30 to .40 per round, cheaper if you shop and build up good supplies. If you are into C&Rs, you really should get into reloading. Many of the rarer calibers are scarce, hard to find and expensive.

yeah, looks like I'm getting deeper and deeper into C&R rifles, there is just so much more to them than modern firearms...so reloading is def in the future.

Really good looking pair of rifles!

Well done.

Since nobody asked, I will have to. Does the Type 99 have an intact or ground Mum?

grounded mum, I actually found this while I was doing my PPT for the Lee Enfield. It was a impulse purchase
