Product Description

--This Murata rifle was developed by Tsuneyoshi Murata from the Satsuma domain with reference to the French Grasse gun, and was adopted by the Japanese Army in 1880 as the first domestic metal cartridge case rifle. ..
――Japan, which had been producing matchlock guns in the cottage industry until then, had the Murata rifle, which was the most advanced at the time, combining metal cartridge cases and bolt-action type guns, and the modernization of military guns progressed at a stretch.
――It seems that there are still hunters in Taiwan who were commissioned from the Sino-Japanese War to the end of World War I and still use them as hunting guns.
――This Japan's first domestic rifle has been reproduced on a 1/12 scale.
――By splitting the loading part and the barrel horizontally, the details of the muzzle, the loading part and the aiming part are compatible.
-A special sling (bearing belt) is also included.

--Made of resin
