    Sporterized 7.7

    I looked at this rifle in my LGS. Barrel was shortened to 22", Fajen stock.. Tasco scope, 4 holes drilled in left side of receiver for scope mount. But it did have the chrysanthemum untouched on top of the receiver. Priced at 200.00. Is it worth it? No I don't have any pictures at this time.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I'd have to say no.
    $100 more and you can find one in military issue condition.
    Might be a neat "fun gun" for about $125.

    Arisakas are definitely one of rifles that the parts always cost more than buying an entire gun

    Really depends what you want it for. Collecting, not a chance. Restoring, not a chance. Hunting, really depends what they did to it. I've seen some very nice sporterized Arisakas and if I needed a good hunting rifle, one of the nice ones might be worth that. The vast majority however are in the $100 range and I wouldn't pay that much for one.
