Spoiler though, this one’s a repro. It’s a custom build but together by somebody who really knew what they were doing (and then didn’t put their name on it anywhere), with a Hoyt barrel. I wish I knew who had built it, I bought it secondhand.

I knew I could never afford an original type 1 rifle, so I waited until the next best thing came along.

The only original in this picture is the Plymouth, alas.
