Bought this at a pawn shop while I was out shopping. It is marked 6.5mm and I've ordered some en bloc clips and am currently scouting for the ammo for it.
I've shot one of these before, it was also chopped up/sporterized and I like these kinds of guns (I'd get a 6.5 Arisaka/T30(38) but I don't wanna deal with the ammo shortages for that cal since I don't reload anymore) so I figured I'd save it.
My main questions are:
1. I've heard many brands of ammo run like crap due to improperly sized bullets? Does anyone know the best ammo brands you can buy? Is Prvi any good?
2. Any sources right now for the ammo that you guys know of? Seems about as scarce as everything else, just was curious.
3. Anything I should know about this gun before firing it?
I'm 99% sure the barrel has been cut down, dunno the model due to illegible markings but the sight is not a sliding tangent, it's a v-notch sight and has screws on the sides (I presume for windage or securing to the gun)
I paid peanuts for it. Any advice?
