Another Murata... Whatizit?

The stock was made the way it is. The copper band was added I'm guessing, cuz the screw and bolster holding the barrel on, were lost. The only modification I see, is that the front sling swivel was moved forward from it's original position. I have another, with the same length stock, and most are the same. The full-stocked gun in my other post, is an unusual example. I feel that the copper band, is a non Japanese addition. Many of these guns, went to the South Pacific, Manchukkuo (Manchuria), and South America, with Japanese colonists, and settlers.
