No. I don't have the chance. Owner is in west coast, I am in the east, thousands of miles away. He shoots his gun.

His two instances came from Ralph M collection. I looked at those two in hands during the preview session, definitely original Shansei. Another one came from RIAC, from picture, I would say it's original as well. Three instances in collection, test firing 10 rounds from a single one should be enough.

I had a newly assembled Shansei in the past. The bore's like new, but it jams like crazy. It's created as a collectible, that's different from the original which was created as a shooter and later becomes a collectible. Big difference.
