Anyhere here ever seen a Japanese Type 4/5 rifle in person

I'm wondering how many of them still exist. Towards the end of WWII Japan created a copy of the M1 Garand had a 10 round limit and chambered in the Japanese 7.7

Supposedly very few were ever made (some sources claim less than 100).

Wow, never even heard of it before this...

I think there are about 5 or 6 in private collections in the USA and a few stashed away in Museums like NPS Springfield Amory Museum in Mass.

NRA Museum has a Type 5.

This is a leap but I suspect one would have little trouble selling one south of the border
