the symbol means it was made by the Tokyo arsenal, if made prior to 1936 or Kukura arsenal 1936-1945, how are the grips fastened? screws or rivots? does it have a serial number on it?
I also shoot a citori 16 ga, just wanted to give you some backup, anyway I only have an older pre sweet 16 from 1929 but not a new one, the older one does just fine, no reason to upgrade.
went thru my stash and found a box of 69gr match kings, going to load a few loads and weigh the powder by hand rather then my lee auto disc. see what happens
you are so right, first time shooting this gun in over 10yrs(got into shooting trap). the plan is to become proficient in my guns I would use if the SHTF.
In a thread below I asked about bulk 55 gr bullets and the consensus was I should try a heaver bullet, but since I have 4000+ 55 gr I think I will make them work, here is my target today 5 shot groups at 100 yds, shooting my older Armilite M15A4 from the 1990`s, it has a 3x9 leopold on top. 20...
RMR says the longer bullets are correct, the shorter are a result from system problems like low lubrication. I am going to separate them and load them with different seating depth, my biggest fear is pushing the small ones in too far and create a compressed load
I should clarify, its not so much of a seating depth problem but an OAL problem, no problem with my seater, it worked great with their flat nose bullets.
