My first Type 14 Nambu

[mdrim13]

Buy a box of 8mm Nambu and by the time you get through it you should know whether you want to invest in a setup to reload it.

The price of reloading it is high and while it wouldnt be too hard, the bottle neck case is kind of pain. Ill probably find and buy some ammo to shoot it then retire it to the display case.

thanks

Don Schlickman can repair your firing pin ($25) and/or make you a replacement firing pin ($30). I had him repair two original firing pins with broken tips and make two new firing pins so I can save the originals. He is currently making a new extractor ($40) for another one of my Type 14's. He also makes replacements for the magazine retention spring ($25) and rivets ($15).
