Can anyone tell me anything about this rifle? I know it is a Japanese 7.7mm rifle but I don't know anything more about it. Any idea of what it would be worth?

not enough info to set a good value, need more info. Does it match and what is the condition of the bore/rifle
Arisaka? Cheers Ross
On your type 99 Arisake. We would need clear close pictures of the whole serial number including the stampings in front of and after the serial number. Then a clear one of the top of the receiver too. Do the numbers match on it and how is the bore?
Scubatke,
There are MANY factors involving the worth of a Japanese rifle. As was mentioned, bore and rifling are important. Clear photos will help us, help you!
Also:
1. Series
2. Refinish of wood
3. Is mum present.
Fortunately for you, the Mum is still present, if only defaced with an X.
I encourage you to get good close photos of the serial number, which will hopefully give you the series!
The X does hurt the mum however not as much as being ground off but it is still not considered "intact"
Think of all the rifles that someone went crazy with a grinder on. Ouch! I have to agree, an "Xed" mum is better than a ground mum.
I think we are all just talking to ourselfs now
Perhaps but when he comes back to check in he'll see all the interest :thup:
Perhaps an exercise in futility at this point but I'll go out on a limb here and assume the bore is fine because it's chrome, that it is a mismatched bolt, a later rifle that did not come with the monopod and aircraft wings which are missing and say that it's worth $150.00 as is, $200.00 if you don't mind the X on the mum.
