My girl is Japanese, she just translated the page for me.

The Statement Reads,

Tanio Koba Factory will make the guns for sale in Japan and Taiwan Only.
This is due to the strict safety regulations / laws in Japan that must be adhered to regarding replica or in Japanese terms 'Hobby Gun.'

KJW will make the 'Export' guns for the rest of the world. The 'Export' guns will not be warrantied by Tanio Koba but ONLY by KJW.

The Tanio Koba Manufactured guns that will only be for sale in Japan & Taiwan will be warrantied by TK.

I agree that Quality Upgrade parts are being made by Japanese Manufacturers is a Great Thing!

LayLax is already on board and from what we saw on the TK website there are different stocks, grips, RAS / RIS Kits, 10.5" - 14.5" - 16" barrels, Tight Bore Inner Barrels to match are being made and will be available on the guns release in late October.

Japanese Brands like First Factory, LayLax, Prometheus, Nine Ball, Nitro V are affiliated with Tanio Koba 'Hobby Guns' and collectively make after market up grade parts such as seals, M4 front sets, TBBs for the VSR (Which the TK M4 uses) etc.

Great News Indeed!

my emphasis on the last part. hopefully in a few months time there will be upgraded internals for sale. i did hear that kj will sell spare parts through their website.

I have a feeling that the Koba rifle in japan will be plastic lower (if not all plastic) in following their laws, which is why kj started producing plastic lower recievers.
