I thought TM weren't interested in the rest of the world anyway and all their stuff outside of Japan were grey imports. How would this be any different?

Yeah i thought that too. Maybe they're going to ask retailers not to export them? Not sure how it'd work, or if that's just lip service for Howa?

From what I read they are primarily being produced for Japanese military training maybe there is actual legal restrictions in this case.

That would make sense but they make no mention besides "This product is for distribution within Japan only."

They don't explicitly say it's subject to restricted sales but it could be.
