Gun shows have them. And they aren't cheap. Roughly $650+.
Gun auction sites might have one up every now and then. Bottom line is, you'll need to save up for one.

Hmm, alright, what about an Arisaka Type 99, I know the Nambu's are fairly rare, especially the pre-world war 2 era ones, But Im not sure about the 99.Quote:

Heavy ball ammo from the same era as the stripper clips, but packed individually in 20 round packs. Tempting to order more ammo...

I lol'd at the sks image. A lot of "last ditch" Arisaka's are floating around but they are piss poor quality. I wouldn't buy one, let alone shoot one. A friend of mine, his grandfather has one he brought back from WWII, those are usually pretty expensive.
I know a guy who owns a last ditch single-shot rifle chambered in 8mm Nambu. It has the ergonomics of a 2x4.
that's machine gun ammo. for machine guns. firing enough of that through a 91/30 will cause locking lug setback (which will initially manifest as sticky bolt, and eventually lead to unpleasant and dangerous headspacing/locking issues). firing it from an svt, psl, or any other self-loader will straight up fuck the rifle.Quote:

by the way a decent condition mosin sniper will shoot sub moa, in some cases almost half moa, with good quality ammo (particularly this soviet target ammo, the guys on the gunboards sniper forums are going mental over it). pretty impressive for a rifle a lot of people deride as cheap crap.
Cheap crap are Armalites and Berettas.
Heyooooooooooo!
