DANAO CITY INDUSTRY

Gun industry in Danao

Danao City is well known for its gun industry. The industry started around 1905-1906.  

  When World War II came, the Danao gunsmiths went underground, joined the guerrilla movement or were inducted into the USAFFE.

Their main task was to re-chamber the Japanese Arisaka rifles to fit the US .30 caliber round or to keep the original Japanese rifle in good service.
