What to Do With My Daddy's Arisaka Bringback
I have a war souvenir Arisaka Model 38 my Dad brought back from Guam. It is missing the bayonet, the cleaning rod and 1 receiver screw. Unfortunately due to a family dispute the rifle was left lying around exposed to the air and picked up some rust. With the exception of the items mentioned above it appears complete including Chrysanthemum. I would like to go after the rust a little, touch-up the bluing and clean up the wood furniture BUT I would hate to destroy its value in so doing. What is you all's thoughts on this matter? Thanks in advance- Haoleboy greeting you from Hawaii.
