The Gearhead Gunsmith Presents - The GHG-100/25 Nambu "Tensei" Carbine

The GHG-100/25 Nambu “Tensei” Carbine is a semi-automatic pistol-caliber carbine inspired by the iconic form and function of Japan’s late-war Type 100 submachine gun. Developed by The Gearhead Gunsmith of Rosenberg, Texas, the Tensei ("Rebirth") pays tribute to a rare and innovative weapon from the Pacific Theater - reborn in the modern era using durable materials and precision manufacturing methods.

Chambered in 9×19mm and fed by robust PPS-43 magazines, the GHG-100/25 features a closed-bolt, hammer fired semi automatic blowback action designed for smooth, reliable operation. Its precision CNC laser cut receiver and hand-finished wood stock offer a distinctive blend of old-world aesthetics and modern comforts.

Whether you're an avid collector, historical enthusiast, or an average shooter seeking something truly unique, the Tensei brings a piece of history back to life in a package that’s as functional as it is iconic.
