[QUOTE="thomasbangs, post: 3052174, member: 49922"] Back in the 50's and early 60's 6.5 Jap Arisaka WW 2 surplus rifles were fairly easy to come by and cheap. It was a common practice to buy one and rechamber it to 6.5 X 257 Roberts because all the 6.5 Arisaka ammo was destroyed and 257 Roberts brass worked. My uncle built a few of them, would sporterize the stock, drill and tap the receiver for a scope and then sell them. I shot a couple of them as a kid. They were a strong action I was told and very accurate. I doubt there are any of the surplus rifles around anymore but probably some converted ones in gun shops, pawn shops or in closets and attics. Would be a handy rifle as there is far more 6.5 bullet selection available today compared to 1960. [/QUOTE]
