So over the years, I've been fortunate enough to have a gun collector for a grandfather. I've shot a awesome numbers of rifles, and have many more to shoot, even though my grandfather is on limited time (Early Stages of Lung Cancer, has refused kemo...He's a Marine, what'd you expect ). I'm posting this up, as I feel that this is the best place to find some additional answers.
good find, and great piece of history! im sure you're already aware to not ever let it out of the fam
Sorry, can't read Japanese. But a very cool rifle. Maybe you could take the tag to a Japanese market or something like that and see if someone can help you out?

Or try the language department at Sac State or maybe the closest community college.

Oh yea, and the gun is still in shooting condition! I wasn't able to put some rounds though it due to my grandparents Imac needing to be updated completed, as well as rain. Next time though.
