My grandfather was a Frogman in the landing of Japan, now known as the Navy SEALS.  Although he mostly did underwater demolition of mines and suicide mini subs, he still had an M1 Carbine, a knife and a pistol.  Since he was also one of the very first Americans to land on Japan's mainland so he got some pretty awesome memorabilia, however that is not what I am inheriting.

After we figure out all of the messed up Massachusetts gun laws, I am going to get his M1 Carbine, some cruddy Japanese rifle, and possibly his pistol if we can find it.

What I need to know is how to keep these old guns in good shape, and to figure out what the hell the Japanese rifle is.  However I have to teach my grandma how to attach pictures to emails before I can show you guys any...

I'd like to honor him by taking good care of his memorabilia, and by following his footsteps by joining the Navy SEALS myself.

No, I think its one from the very end of the war when the Japanese started running out of supplies, it has the worst iron sights ever, and has really low build quality all around.  Not just old, because the Carbine is in near perfect shape, while the other gun is half falling apart.

EDIT: After looking at that picture some more, it might actually be it.

Before you bash it again the Japanese gun is 20 times more valuable than the M1

unless you are very good at disassembling and reassembling ( done to the firing pin and springs ) take them to a gun smith for thorough inspection and cleaning

then get a fire proof gun safe
