Don folks are now trying to figure out the history and makeing of the Japan guns .Years ago we had the same questions,half truths or misinformation ect about Lindner Daly guns.One must wonder if at times on some models going to some place companies did some outwork for other.One need only look at how easy it is done with Browning/Winchester today.What we need here are some facts from folks that have seen the production,export and import part of the Japan gun lines.
