What do you plan to do with all your smokepoles??? I lived in the Canto Plain at the foot of Mt Fugi, Yokota AB back in 1975-78. I enjoyed it, but there are no handguns(not sure about rifles or though)allowed in Japan. We did have a trap range on Tachikawa and that helped some. I know you will go through shooting withdrawal. Sorry.

PS: I know they changed the law on US Military shipping their cars to Japan. I was lucky and had one shipped in before they changed the rules. If you have to get one when you get there I hope they still have differenet rules for the military folks and not have to go by the locals rules, which were unbelievable and harsh.

I'm leaving them with my father along with my truck. The muzzleloaders will get a nice heavy coat of oil and then be placed in dry-storage. He'll put my truck to good use while I'm gone. We aren't allowed to ship our vehicles over there on the governments dime. If I wanted to come out of pocket for it, I could. But I'm not. My wife and I will both get some cheap Japanese cars when we get there. You can get a really nice car for about $2K.

I might try to get on some military flights to other countries and do some hunting. Maybe New Zealand or Australia. If I can, I'll just have my dad ship the rifle to me. If not, I'm sure the outfitter will have loaners.
