A quick roll of the rifle is all thats required for the shooter to.

So yeah, the M1903A1 is easily my least favourite rifle of either Red Orchestra II or Rising Storm because I love 200-600m shooting with irons.Įdit: They had the word c*ock cencored, even though I don't mean to use it phallically. This scope mount is an exclusive for the Holosun sight 503 model and the Aimpoint. If you could use the notch at the bottom of the triangle on the M1903A1's ladder sight, you might be able to get a sight set for 300m, but as it stands, you're stuck with the 100m battle sight, which in real life is apparently 400m or 500m depending on model. There simply is no way to set the sights for 200-1300m. I'm still more than happy with a Type 38 as well of course.įourthly, as for beyond 100m, the M1903A1 is basically useless because the rear sight jumps from 100m to 1400m. were fitted with fold-down anti-aircraft bars on each side of the rear sight. All in all, I think I prefer the Type 99 due to it being about as powerful as the M1903A1 or M1 Rifle, however it provides a faster rate of fire. The Type 99 used a bolt that was almost identical to the Type 38 rifles. My favourite sights (For bolt actions) are probably the Type 38's, however I can use the Type 99 and M1903 sights at 100m with success too. of Trail Boss makes for some fun shooting, but youll have to crank the sight ladder up to about 600 meters to hit your aiming point. That Metford style rifling requires a harder boolit. Thirdly, preference in sights is purely opinionated except for the M1903A1 which has a significant drawback that I'll get to. If theres one thing Ive learned about the Arisaka, you need to cast em big and cast em hard. 30-06 and shortened it, doing away with the wasted empty case capacity by shortening it by over 1cm. When they made 7.62x51 Nato/.308 Winchester, they basically took the. 30-06 is biggest for case capacity, the loading designed for the M1 Rifle (M2 Ball) had a lot of empty space left. There's not a HUGE difference in power for any of these, even though the. 303 British, M80 7.62 Nato, GP11 7.5x55 Swiss, and 7.7x58 Arisaka are in the same ballpark. ABOVE LEFT A Type 99 rifle's rear sight in folded. 30-06 (150gr at 2,800 ft/s) for the M1903. The Type 38 was built on a modified Mauser Gewehr 98 action and was fed by. Secondly, the rounds they fire are 6.5 Arisaka (140gr at 2,500 ft/s) for the Type 38, 7.7 Arisaka (174gr at 2,400-2,500 ft/s?) for the Type 99, and M2 Ball. Firstly, the Type 38 and Type 99 are c*ock-on-close, so the actions will be smoother and faster than the c*ock-on-open M1903A1.
