hey everyone, new here so bear with me
just a quick question about my type 44
not sure how popular they are on this fourm and how many people own them but....
where the heck do yall get your ammo? ive been around most places on the net and shops in my area (chicago) but im pretty much coming up with around 30$ for a box of 20 (with tax) i know military surplus is pretty much non existant since the US dumped nearly all the jap ammo at the end of the war into the sea, but does anyone have a good lead on cheaper ammo than what im finding? love shooting the gun but the cost to do so is killing me
2nd question, what are type 44's going for these days? i have great historical knowledge of the rife and its history, but as far as attaching a price to it im lost
info as follows
type 44 Arisaka Carbine
Series 2 made at Nagoya 1933-1940
serial #73**
All Matching parts and mint condition besides the attempted mum grinding
also i didnt bother taking pictures or anything yet but if people are interested enough i can upload some
any help or additional info would be greatly appreciated!
