Doug really balled-up the treaty with the Japanese, stupid crest grinding and all!!

We are still over there, 50 plus years later "protecting them", while they have been over here for the last 30 taking much of our industrial base away.

Well, the Arisaka T-38 is my favorite rifle, notwithstanding the under powered little 6.5x50SR cartridge.

Nambu was a brilliant man, and simplified the Mauser bolt system by copying the internal firing pin of the Luger Pistol. Yes, he copied the Luger's firing system in his design!!!
