I have an old bolt action japanese rifle from world war II. my grandfather somehow got it, he was a seabee in okanawa, guam, and tinian. it is very crude, but what is interesting was a few years ago i was watching american shooter on tnn. they had a segment on japanese wwII guns, low and behold they had my gun on it and i learned all about it. the best part was that hirohito ordered all the crisanthemums filed off the top of the action when they surrenedered more or less as a display that they had lost. eisenhower then ordered our boys to file off the flower aswell in respect for the japanese. i checked out my gun and sure enough there was a file mark where the file used to be. makes you wonder whose hands that gun has been in and what it did.
