From our 'Ye Kindly Olde Editor Files'...
Here are pictures of a modern production non-gun copy of The Type 2 Paratroop rifle produced by Nagoya Arsenal. Commonly referred to as a 'Take Down' rifle, these rifles (21223 highest serial reported Honeycutt MRoJ) are not as rare as their prices command, but are certainly unique in their own right.

This is a fairly good copy of the original with some obvious differences. Look for a more detailed description in an upcoming BANZAI ($40 domestic per year, 12 Issues contact lodestone88@gmail.com)

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Funny you should mention the Type 2. This afternoon I posted some Type 2 parts to Riceone. More on that project when it is complete.

Not a dummy gun,, it's the type the Nobama Administration wants us to trade all of our iron for. It's called the "Government Model", like the employees, it won't work and it can't be fired.
