NEW TO FORUM
Hi
My name is tom and i joined this forum because i just aquired 2 arisaka type 99 rifles and was looking for information.Found out the manufacturer of one Toyo Kogo is still in existance after the bomb, making transmissions for Mazda. i Have owned Mazdas for years and didn't know their headquarters was on Hiroshema.
I started playing with Japanese rifles about 1965 when they cost $5.00 in good condition. I still have a custom target rifle in 7mm Ackley imp. built on a reworked action with the mum still in place. I took a lot of ribbing for messing with the worthless Jap rifles when u could buy a Mauser for $25.00. Wish i still had the swedish carbine I bought from Sears for $29.00. I just recently discovered single shot rifles.
I also collect model airplane engines..And own a 1960BMW R69 motorcycle that I restored awhile back

You can't fix Stupid, but you can occasionally head it off before it hurts something.

Welcome
Welcome SCREWLOOSETC. You could post some pics of your model aeroplane engines on the 'other things we collect' forum.
Arisakas are not as cheap now are they?
Regards
Peter.
