price check on a couple of Arasaka's

[comus]

I have a couple of Arasaka's that I'm thinking of parting with. I know what I think they are worth, but I'm likely wrong. Can you fella's help me out?

First up is a Type 99 short rifle. This one never had the mono pod. Nagoya Arsenal 5th series. The mum is not intact, but the anti aircraft sights are. The bore is good, and the wood is good except for a crack in the stock. No dust cover.

The second one is a type 38 carbine. Tokyo Artillery Arsenal. Mum is not intact, but it does have the dust cover. The bore has some light pitting but the rifling is strong. The wood is dinged up.

Thanks.

I don't know about the type 38 but the type 99 with a good bore should bring around the $300 to $400.00 mark.

I'd be those would each bring around $400 (plus/minus $50) here on the EE. Not nearly as common in Canada as in the States.

VERY nice Arisakas, I concur with Claven2 on their value, but I would price the Type 38 carbine a wee bit higher because of their relative scarcity overall. (I'd ask $500 )

Very nice! Becoming more popular around these parts, that's for sure. Do you really want to sell them?

Ya. I'm going to concentrate on another aspect of my collection, and it's christmas time.... I'm going to be listing 6 or 7 in the next day or so.
