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
