[QUOTE="cz_partizan, post: 2650412, member: 32688"] Post World War II and during the Korean War, the US Army converted some to 30-06, mostly for the newly formed South Korean army. I believed they simply just reamed out the chamber, cut a notch in the receiver and lengthened the magazine, leaving on the old Japanese barrel. The 7.7 Arisaka round used a .311 to .312 bullet while 30-06 used a .308 bullet. Hence while a somewhat serviceable weapon, the conversions were not known for their accuracy I imagine civilian conversions were quite similar. [/QUOTE]
