Two of the offending clips in question

>"clips"
>yes I'm shitposting

>>64832331
Sorry, clipazine

They are loud as fuck.

>>64832703
Yeah. Story has it in WWII that American soldiers would wait until they heard the clips poop out the Italian's rifles, that way they knew when they'd be busy reloading.

>>64832319
It's a magazine not a clip

>>64832721
Loudness aside, I can’t imagine fumbling with one of these fuckers with bullets whizzing past my head. The cartridges wiggle around and fall out so easily.

>>64832319
Try some new clips. I have these brass ones for my Carcano and they can be wonky. Really a stupid design. Unlike the M1 Garand enbloc clip, the Carcano clips are not durable at all.

>>64832319
How hard is it to source ammo/how much per round? Been thinking about trading my M44 for a Carcano carbine

Here you go dumbass
>>64803876

>>64835182
In my hellhole state it’s like $35 for a box of 20

>>64835182
Steinel online. But you'll shit out your own anus having to pay over 2 bucks a round

>>64835182
If you're gonna shoot 6.5 or 7.35 carcano you should look into reloading, like >>64835843 said Andy Steinel is expensive.

>>64835867
Hot damn. I'll just keep the M44

>>64835182
Mosin is worth more than a Carcano. Last I remember a carcano (at least the models with flip out permanently attached bayonets) were like $125. Mosin carbine is at least $250. I say that assuming by "trade" you mean trade and not sell and buy a Carcano.

>>64835706
Not much better online. I'd expect close to if not $1/rd at least. Maybe $1.25. Oh and the fun of bullet diameters with Carcanos...

Some guys operate differently, but I wouldn't recommend getting rid of a gun to get an equivalent other, especially when the guns are inherently collectable. I find that even with guns I own but don't shoot, are still a lot of fun and are interesting to have around as an example of its kind.
I have an Arisaka I bought 9 years ago, still haven't shot it, but I still would never let that one go

>>64840245
>Arisaka
6.5 or 7.7?
The 6.5 is relatively easy to reload for, the chamber design negates having to ever really trim your brass, shrimple.

>>64840245
why have a gun that you just stare at and hold

if I stop shooting a gun I sell or trade it

>>64840273
>none of my guns are investments
I guaran-fucking-tee you, that arisaka is worth a lot more now, than what he paid for it

>>64840260

It's a nice type 99. I don't shoot it simply because I'm too cheap to spend $40 bucks a box. I still have a little 54r and 56r from quite a long time ago, so I'll shoot the M95 or M91 on occasion.
But to be honest, it's more fun to shoot rifles that hit point of aim, than ones you have to apply quite a lot of Kentucky elevation for. I could fuck around with drifting front sights or replacing them, doing some shimming ect, but I really enjoy them as they are, even the ones with frosty bores lol. Also, none of them are for sale under ANY circumstance.

>>64840290
Yes it is. It was 300 dollarydoos. I didn't bother haggling because the Cabela's guy handling my purchase was an old man who fell on hard times and sold his dad's Arisaka to the store.
In retrospect, I should have still bought it, but I should have just given the rifle to him. I love the rifle, but I guarantee he loved it more. Which makes me sad, but I see myself as kind of a steward for these old guns, especially ones like that old man's rifle.

>>64840338
Even the last ditch rifles command pretty good prices. The supply of Arisakas is limited and they will never be made again. The only ones that seem to be selling for the lowest of the low are smoothbore training rifles, simply for the fact they are un-shootable.

>>64840355
I wonder if it's possible to load low pressure handloaded rat shot that's simply crimped at the case mouth like a blank.
That could be a fun use. Unless the steel is even weaker than I already think it is

>>64840392
I should add that they are meant to fire blank cartridges, of course. The steel is no doubt very strong, I suppose rat shot could be done.

>>64840401
There just isn't really much pressure with a blank, not sure if the cheapened design was strong enough to handle anything more than a blank, even though rat shot would only be a somewhat marginal increase in pressure.

>>64840410
Really would be interesting to see that Kentucky ballistics retard shoot rounds through an arisaka training rifle, see if it could take the pressure.

>>64840260
NTA, but I have a Type 38 that doesn't like PPU rims, and Norma cased ammo is like $4 a round.
