I purchsed a Arisaka type 99 today for $40.00. The rifle is not complete. It is missing the firing pin, firing pin spring, safety, and rear sight. The mum is complete (not ground off). The person I purchased this from got it from his Grandfather who served in WWII. I'm thinking this may be a war trophy. I'm thinking of replacing the missing parts and keeping it in original conditional. The bore is dark but I haven't put a brush in it yet. the exterior is in very good condition. I don't want to spend more than the gun would be worth. My question is, how much would be a reasonable amount to spend in addition to the purchase price. Does anyone know a good source for parts in addtion to "GPC".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, RWims
