Japan needs to uncuck itself with its gun laws. They are having a massive issue with wild life eating crops. Due to restrictive gun laws there aren't enough hunters to keep the population down.

Literally never. You could replicate one if you got custom furniture done (or pull it off an airshit) for an AR-180, but that's about as close as you're getting.

Fuck, why are there so many airsoft pictures but i cant find any real photos.

>>32491078
they would need to uncuck their entire government, the gun manufacturers there wanted to get into the foreign military markets but that was a no go and the government shut that down immediately. they were hoping if they could get into military market and if it succeed then maybe they could get into the civilian market.

It costs too much and not many people will buy it. Why buy a $2000 gun when you can build a AR for $400?

>>32491078
Yeah I heard about the needing more Hunters thing, Howa could probably make a Civilian version of the Type 64 and 86 for them, and at some point for the US Market but their people need to change there gun laws at least a bit.

Its just one of THOSE guns man, type in Taiwanese Type 57 or Type 91 see how many pics of real ones come up. At least we will see a Type 91 in the US

So what are the actual laws preventing a spoterized version from being exported? The export shotguns and bolt guns, so is it just becuase it's a semi auto rifle?

I'd do a lot for the chance to get a nippon aesthetic Uzi

I don't know which or what the law is call but i think all firearms are prohibited from export. it has to do with japan being an only self-defense country/anti-gun mentality. manufacturing firearms for anything beyond country is against exporting laws for them but they object to it mainly for various political reasons.

Japan is not allowed to export 'weapons of war' this came into effect in 1975.

That's why Howa was exporting AR-180s to the United States from 1970 to 1974.

Winchester and Browning have guns made in Japan. So the export of weapons isnt illegal

>>32491048
I just wish Ian or MAC or somebody would at least get to do a video on one of these, because I'm really interested in them. It's pretty much Japan's only indigenous post-war weapon design and there's almost no info out there about it.

There's a difference between weapons and 'weapons of war' according to Japanese law.

Yea. I have shot one 12 gauge Howa over under skeet setup and it was nice.

May I add though, the materials, craftmanship and overall aesthetics were beautiful, also it was very precise.

However I would pick up a designated Beretta skeet shotgun over it any day. It's difficult to describe, but Beretta and many other especially European over unders simply have that "shooter's insight" embedded into them. The difference is in those minute details that appear only if a lot of guys around you shoot guns and then give tons of feedback about them. I suddenly think that Howa didn't fully deliver it in this sense.

But it still was a very nice shotgun. Really well manufactured one.
