I recently bought a few rifles from my 80 something year old neighbor, a 91/30 Mosin, a Meriden model 10 and this wonderful type 99 Arisaka. From some research I did the Arisaka appears to have been made by the Toyo Kogyo arsenal and is part of the 32nd series which was approximately made in 1943. Also, if I surmise correctly the lines in the mum were created by the bayonet of the Japanese soldier who knew that he didn't have long for this world. But if I may ask, where could I find the proper cleaning rod and what would be a fair market value be for the rifle? I bought it and the other two rifles for what I consider a really low price but I just don't know and I want to make sure I'm not stealing them from him because he is a friend before all else. Especially since he said he had more rifles to sell me later. Hopefully the pictures aren't too abysmal and you all enjoy the pictures. One last thing, does anyone here know much about old Remington rolling block rifles, particularly those used by the Spanish and Cubans loyal to Spain during the Spanish-American war?
TIA, Jimmy
