    Howa Type 89

    I know that about a year ago, Japan lifted it's ban on the export of military technology. Does this mean that there would be the possibility of getting a semi-only Howa Type 89?



    I know they'd be pricey (¥338,800 as of 2005, according to Wikipedia, about $4k today), but I think it'd be really cool to have one.

    Would be cool, but I highly doubt they'd make a semi auto only version.

    Howa did make semi-only AR-180's for commercial sale back in the day (before my time), so they may be willing to do something like this. It all depends on how badly they want our money, lol.

    Who sells Howa in Canada? I see some on IRUNGUNS website. I've read reviews on rifles made by Howa and they seem like a decent gun with realistic prices.
