Has anyone ever heard of this company? My father in law has a 12 gauge auto made by them and they are based out of Kochi Japan.

I've heard of that company but can't tell you anything about it unfortunately. Many of the Japanese guns are of excellent quality. Many Browning guns were built in Japan.

Thanks,
Clark

It is a copy of the Browning Auto-5, one of the better ones. Most internals may not interchange, but have seen some report that they will. I always wanted one, but never found one I thought was worth the money.
