Riceone has shown his interest in Japanise firearms and his interest in sharing his knowledge with this site. He was asked, and has graciously consented, to join us as a moderator.

Peter, who has an equally serious interest in the subject, remains as our original Asian Moderator. Brian, the Pittbulloflove, has been reasigned to something he has a deeper appreciation of now this forum is well covered by experienced collector-moderators dedicated to the subject.

Thanks for the confidence and invitation to be a moderator here. Japanese rifles have been a passion of mine since the fall of 1950 when I was in the 11th grade in highschool. I bought the first one to deer hunt with. I am 73 years old and an active rice and soybean farmer, with my son, in the Mississippi Delta. Along with my Japanese collection I have numerous other rifles from many nations. My second interest is machinging - I have a machine shop that I use to for my own hobby and to make parts for those who cannot find them elsewhere. I will post from time to time things I am working on. Thanks again for the confidence. riceone (Roy)

It will be good having you as a moderator as you are much more qualified than I am in the field of Japanese arms. I have a little meagre collection of six rifles and never see any new ones.

Regards

Peter.
