    Heck no. He's putting emotional value into it that's for sure. On the best day describing what you have the rifle by itself being a mismatch would be between $200 and $250. If the muzzle cover is...

    I know this post is a month old but here's what I can gather:
    It's ok if the bayonet lug is unnumbered. Probably was lightly stamped and thus doesn't show up.
    The front sling swivel definitely...

    Aragon here's my example. The monopod's a repro added by the previous owner and the sling is an older sling but definitely not original. However the stock doesn't seem to be sanded and as said before...

    Very nice. I have a ground mum no series but even though it is a bolt mismatch the bolt number is only off by one number.

    an unimprovable mid war arisaka

    Here is my best find of the past year as far as arisakas are concerned. A long time local collector whom I befriended several years ago just started to thin down his vast collection to focus on...

    From the sound of this rifle any price over $100 is too much for it. Just because it has the mum doesn't dictate that price. Also it would never be all matching unless you lucked into finding the...

    It seems like the good majority of foreign weapons were either manufactured by Russia and China or supplied to the NVA/VC by the Russians and Chinese. Then there are the odd balls like the French...

    As for the bent handle no they are supposed to be a straight handle unless it is a sniper version, which yours is not. The grandfather was the bubba on this particular project it seems like since his...

    Wow I had no idea that others smuggled so much of their issue gear home though my dad's gear takes the cake. He volunteered to go to Vietnam in 1966 and ended up in the 1st Marine Division in the 7th...

    I can't tell if that stock had ever been sanded but looking at the edges of the stock can sometimes tell this. As for finish loss if not sanded my best guess is that if it has been in a dry...

    I have a couple of berthiers, one being the very rare Indochinois variant, and a crude Chinese copy of a Gew 88 that were captured in Vietnam. My dad's unit even captured several k98s and MAS 36s...

    I wouldn't think the Japanese would do that and I haven't seen any solid evidence to the contrary. All I've seen like what you're describing are just rescued sporters that were easy to tell that they...

    If I may why are you restoring this particular arisaka? For me anyway a rule of thumb that I learned from many collectors is unless a sporterized rifle is a rare model like a real sniper or has...

    I think I can get a grasp of what you have. From my research files it appears you have a series 6 type 99 made at the Nagoya arsenal sometime mid war (around late 43- early 44 ?). As far as the aa...
