I remember reading the story in the American Rifleman. I guess it was in the early 50s.

Mosin Nagants are the absolute toughest bolt action rifles in the world.

I second that. If someone can break a M-N, they either have too much aggresion or too much time on their hands.
1917 and P14 enfields are way overbuilt and are tough.
1903 and 03A3 Springfields I've never considered rugged. They both have relatively delicate sights and firing pins.

8mm/06, I found the article. It's the seventh paragraph down. Clickhere.

Buckmaster9,
WOW. i read it..still don't know if I believe it actualy happened! But it at least adds credence to our feeling about the Arisaka taking more punishment than others. Mr. Ackley and those .308 bullets will stand as witnesses eh?

You others, read the 7th paragragh down on this article....I'll bet it DID kick a little bit! [:-]
