Howa Type 89 with ACOG (CS:S SG552)

Howa Type 89 fitted with a Trijicon Advance Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) and a SureFire flashlight mount with a hook-and-loop fastener.
Although the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) standard optic sight is the unmagnified Aimpoint CompM2, there are some instances of soldiers welding Type 89s fitted with ACOGs, more specifically a Trijicon ACOG 4x32 Red LED Illuminated Scope, and a Ruggedized Miniature Reflex (RMR) red dot sight mounted on top (image[i.imgur.com]). The SureFire flashlight mount utilising a hook-and-loop fastener were actually used by soldiers during a live firing training in California, with a video reference here. The Type 89 is due to be replaced soon by the newer Howa Type 20, based off the Advanced Combat Rifle design.

Standard issue service rifle of the JSDF, the Howa Type 89 replaced the outdated Howa Type 64 battle rifle and was introduced into service in 1989, used exclusively only by the Japanese armed forces. The Type 89 is heavily based off the ArmaLite AR-18 design and features 4 different trigger groups: Safe, Semi, 3rnd Burst, Auto. Although unique style STANAG Magazines are issued with the Type 89 most distinctive by the bullet indicating peekholes on the left side, standard NATO issued STANAG Magazines used for the M16s can also be accepted, with the cost of the inability of the bolt locking back on an empty chamber.
