Hey,
I bought a sporterized Arisaka last year with the intentions of using it as the base for a future caliber conversion. I was thinking about having a custom 6.5 Creedmoor barrel made. I don't think feeding would be an issue since the cartridges seem very similar at the base? I'm guessing the different necking could have an effect on the feeding?
Not really worried about cost or practicality since I'm really partial to the Arisaka design, and not concerned about resale values.
Has anybody encountered rebarreled Arisakas? Scraping through old forum threads it seems most custom jobs were rechambers and people asking smart questions like if it's possible to shove a 308 into the chamber.
EDIT: Corrected misspelling of Creedmoor
