Arisaka Type 99 Sniper

[Wireman134]

Hello. Since I've got my Ishaphore 2A1 this past summer. I've been thinking of this Jap rifle my father in law has had. I received all his firearms except this one after his passing, cause at the time I had no interest in a Japanese rifle. Well since seeing all the interest here and there and after the EnField purchase I have grown fond of the history and simplicity of bolt actions. Well I just found out this T99 is a all matching sniper minus it's scope. Found out it came from Nagoya arsenal #6227. There is one up on Gunbroker now with a #6394 serial. All 10K or so were made at Nagoya so this is one of the 10,000. The stock has a few gouges and it's missing it's aircraft wings. What is involved in removing the scope mount to see the series and full serial numbers. Condition is probably 80% metal finish is good with a bright chrome bore. Any thoughts on value. I plan on cleaning it up for a part time shooter.
