Salt,
I passed on a sporterized Arisaka that I saw at a Gunshow. The price was under $100.00. It was sooo modified, I didn't see any collector value. However, I have heard good things about the strength of the receiver. So I really should grab 1 or 2 sporterized models, just for grins and giggles.
Yours looks great! I have some Arisaka Envy!

Gentlemen, Thanks for the comments. The Type 38 actions work much better than the Type 99's for sporters. They have a machined trigger guard and are finshed better. Also you would need a metric lathe to cut the barrel threads for a Type 99. Most lathes in the US are not metric. There is nothing wrong with the 7.7 caliber though and usually the T99 bores are very good due to the chrome bores. I've got a cut down Type 99 barreld action with a Lyman micrometer peep sight and a ramp front that I'm saving for the right stock. I've been looking at Richards Microfit stocks and may order one with some good grain. Has anyone bought from them? Salt Flat
