Like the Asahi WA 200 they made 2 versions of 125 guns of each version.
The WA 2000 was also released in 1993.. And they barely managed to finish the WA2000 before the M40 issue brake loose.
Some of the Standard (STD) versions of the WA 2000 are 90% DX! Just some minor details make it STD!
Only 250 M700/M40 ever made all sold in Japan originally now I'm not sure how many are left in Japan. But I have seen Asahi converted to Tanaka M700! With the gas in mag versions not the shell eject.
