Please Help With Some Advise

Hello everybody,


I dream of a nice Arisaka (38 or 99 i don't really care now. The other one would be the next;-D), but I'm not really an expert. I know them enough to appreciate many things, but I'm sure I'd miss a few important details.
I found this one I could go and pick up with some effort due to the distance from home, but I'm not that convinced.
Too much blueing in my opinion.....
It misses the dust-cover, but that is not so bad.

Could someone who has a good experience with Arisakas just tell me his gut-feeling about it?
This is the website where I found it.

I'll appreciate any comments and help.

The stock is broken at the wrist and nailed together , then refinished . The metal has also been redone , it is coming off at the edges . The bolt has been polished .

Steer clear of that one, in fact RUN from that one. Bob is correct on all counts.

I checked it on my phone and was somehow feeling strangely about it. Now looking at it on the big screen.......
Thanks guys!
