[Milsurplus] weird BC-342

 It sure looks like a Japanese design.
I doubt that the U.S. was sending BC-342s to Japan as part of the Lend-Lease program. LOL.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's a Japanese design based roughly on the BC-342, manufactured some time in the 1950s...

What first looked like a hacked or rebranded BC-342 after further review appears to be something completely different. Saw people put in modern tubes before but the rotary drum is way different from anything else I have seen in a BC-342 modification.
