Type 99 values

I have one of each series Nagoya type 99 short rifle except the series 12. They are all matching number guns. Some have mums some have defaced mums. A few of them have original slings. Thinking about selling them and need to know what they sell for today. Thanks

Depends on condition obviously. I'd suggest looking on Gunbrokers sold listings to see what they are selling them for. They tend to sell for more than Carcano's but they are still not on par with most other major powers rifles, exceeding only the Carcano's and Nagants. Generic price, average condition, with mum $450.00-$500, without $350-$450. Excellent condition could add $200 more. Poor condition subtract $150.

That being said, there is one that appears quite unremarkable on Gunbroker that sold for $2050 which tells me that they were either idiots or family members fighting over Dad's bring back rifle or both. It even has a fully scrubbed mum. Most however appear to fall into the above ranges without looking at them in any great detail. I'll leave that up to you as you know what you have.

Thanks that helps

In Canada they would likely be 1200$+ rifles, most likely falling into the 1800$-2k+ range. Best of luck with your sales!

I concur with Aragorn243 reference researching Gunbroker (use the "buy now" filter to get true pricing) and I would also recommend reviewing J&G Sales as they usually have Arisakas in their inventory (no Type 99's as of right now).

I would argue that an intact mum rifle, numbers matching and in good shape, will do a bit better than 450-500 if marketed right. I would pay 450 for an intact mum and numbers matching in a heartbeat. Heck ground mums are going near that at times. My one Type 99 was free to me, though I do plan on repaying the kindness shown by the man who gave it to me. It’s a remarkable shooter too, can’t believe I lucked out like I did. I turned a sub 2” 5 round group at 100 with it the other day. Most groups are easily sub 3” when I do my part. The 8” gong at 200 doesn’t stand a chance. Not bad for a 80 year old rifle with a mismatched bolt.
