The story behind it was it was captured at a rear echelon area from a guard who was not front line material and had rarely ever shot it. Nice rifle. Worth lots of dough.

That's pretty cool. My grandpa has a .311 Japanese rifle he picked up in WW2.... got it brand new out of a supply truck... hasn't been shot to this day! Still has the original packing grease they put on them to prevent the barrels from rusting
