  • God bless plumbers. Really tho. I’ve had to bust out the ol’ drain snake before and it’s one of the most disgusting tasks in a home. I’m almost more comfortable with plunging a shit laden toilet than pulling out the diabolical monstrosities one can find in a shower drain. But that satisfying sound of water actually going through the pipe is a sure sign that your days of showering in ankledeep water are behind and you hits a special part of the rewards center of the brain.



  • There are rumors swirling around that an 8mm will still fire and unconfirmed testimonials from internet forum randos that that is the case with various degrees of success. However, for me, when it comes to high powered rifles, I’drather stick to the standard the gun is designed to fire. It’s expensive but it has also given me a reason to learn how to reload my own rounds.

    Besides, I got lots of other guns I can use for target practice that are way cheaper and readily available at the local gun shop.

    I want to use the Arisaka to hunt because of the challenge and novelty. I could run out with a Armalite strapped with all the fancy accessories but that kinda takes the fun out of the chase for me personally.


  • I live in a fully legal state and some of my neighbors grow their own out in fields and the deer around here are known to eat entire crops overnight. I’ve heard stories of people just days away from the time in October when everyone harvests their ganja discover their big beautiful stinky skunk forest has been consumed in a single evening by a herd of deer. Lol.




  • I’d be interested in buying an early-war short barrel version with all the artistic flame it had to it one day. Especially, the kind with the milled Chrysanthemum on the back of the bolt safety. That aspect was long gone by the time my rifle was made. For being such an effective instrument of war for their time, they sure made them pretty especially at the beginning.



  • The Chrysanthemum was filed off before surrender to the US military. The manufacturer marking is Toyo Kogyo. This is a mid-war model. 1942. So, it still has a good build quality before all hell broke loose and they started making these things as fast and as cheap as they could in the mid-40’s.

    It still has the flip-up sights but lacks the airplane sights that flip out from that. After all these years, its still so accurate. Granted, it was only fired a few times before I got it. I still have the original bill of sale in my possession.

    And I know someone may ask - My rifle is an authentic WWII Japanese Imperial Army 7.7x58mm Arisaka bolt-action rifle. Some of you may know it from basically every WWII video game in existence.

    I live completely off-grid BTW. Any deer I may (or may not) harvest from my own land will be 100% used. This ain’t trophy or sport hunting. This is for a very healthy and non commercial/factory source of wild protein.
