Recently up at auction with Morphys, a very rare and desirable Japanese Type 5 Garand semi-automatic rifle, one of approximately 125 of its type assembled in early 1944.
This outstanding experimental example in standard Japanese 7.7mm chambering, numbered ‘13’ on the underside of the barrel. Action nearly identical to that of a standard American Garand, although the 8-round en bloc clip was replaced with a fixed internal 10-round magazine that extended past the wood line.
