Incheon Armory Depot actually operated after liberation. Imagine what would have happened if Koreans had been allowed to keep all of the Japanese weapons-even U-boats were made in Incheon. The place still makes bread there and I went taking pictures of flowers alongside the army rail in April.The rifles are still existing and they would make good DMR rifles as 5.56 is too small for long range sniper and they use M1 rounds.
hey misha. I came across a 30-06 arisaka repurposed for the korean war. you should do a video on that variation. I haven't seen or heard anything about that type of arisaka. it has a very interesting history. And it seems there is no clarity to whether it is reliable or accurate.
Mr. P That Arisaka rifle was used by South Korean army, Police, and right wing activist early days of Korean War. But it replaced by M1 garand and M1 carbine after the USA support the weapons.
I'd like to pick one up. I thought i had one held for me a few years ago, but the 'friend' that had it apparently couldn't wait 3 days for me to get over to pick it up and sold it out from under me. Since i have several other Korean rifles, one of the true .30-06 conversions would be pretty nifty I agree, cheers.
Some stll exist but South and North Korea are the world's only UN member states with full gun ban so the army still has them. Unlike the M1s of which all were returned to the US, the 99 has low demand and collector value.
Working on that as we speak. Personally i have 3 Finn Mosins, and a friend has 3 other variants. I will borrow those to give you guys a more complete series / history, cheers.
Incheon, not Jinsen. These guns were rechambered and issued to pupil soldiers as there weren't enough M1 rifles for middle and high school pupils who fought in korean war.We had M1 Garands, mortars and M1919s at high school, which had the firing pins cut off, learned assembling/disassembling with covered eyes with stopwatch, were beaten with steel pipes when too slow, at university we were trained with M16A1 and M60.
I've got an early series 11 nagoya, and unholy mettler toledo batman, the lathe work is horrible! I want to see that lathe , the poor think must have had chunks missing out of the ways.
Thanks for the upload, took me a while to discover!
Wow. I never know the existence of Jensen arsenal in Incheon. Beside, there are a lot of arsenals in northern state in Korea during Japanese rule.
This was the only 1 to produce complete/entire Type 99s. They also made the original Type 38 earlier.
Ozark Bear Arms Thanks to telling me that.

Misha do you think you will ever get more Russian AKM builds from legion?
Not sure, very doubtful about ones with the CHF barrels again.
