The days of $20 Arisakas are long past us. With Hornady selling quality ammo and Privi bringing it in also, at a cheaper price, the value and intrest has gone through the roof. Sold 2 last year at prices that almost gave me a heart attack. One was a 2nd series Kokura w/mum, and all matching for $225 and a 4th Series Nagoya, no mum al matching for $180. I paid less than $50 for each of these rifles in 1998. The Kokura had the capture ppw from Guadalcanal. I guess with 1903's and M1icon's getting pretty pricey, Milsurp collectors are venturing into other catagories.
