How accurate are Japanese rifles?

[gunner]

I dont know a carcano that was shooting good. The most have poor accuracy. Older guys told me " The carcano`s are mostly like new because they didnt fired one shot, they where thrown away when the brit`s come in sight"

To clarify, I'm speaking of the Type I rifles that were subcontracted to Italy for the Japanese Navy and Special Naval Landing Forces.

Now that you mention Carcanos...long ago on the old site I remember someone claiming that Italian Carcano rifles can be super-accurate...but first you have to slug the bore to find its true ID, then tailor bullets to match it. I wonder if the same is true of Arisakas as well?
