I recently acquired one of these rifles, a Type 1, but with no ammo.
Local gunstore says because the cartridge is 8mm, and classified as a military round, they can't order ammo.
Some exists from private hands, but I'm not sure what to buy, because ....
It's 8x57mm IS or 7.92x57mm Mauser, except
many rifles have been bored (or more deeply rifled) to .323",
and originally used a rimless cartridge.
I'm willing to "go to school" on what I need to buy, or just hear the answer.
Thx for the help.
