That's not exactly the information I was hoping for!

Mine has the EMJ on it as well, but I didn't think it had anything to do with the model.

Someplace I read that MW sold these guns for a brief period of time, maybe three years, in the '60's. If that is true, you would think that someone out there knows when this happened. It looks as though the "Western Field" stamp is on the barrel as an afterthought. I'm wondering if these were stock weapons intended for the European market and MW just bought a truckload or something shortly before they went out of business.

The Miroku website is a waste of time.
