I said I wouldn't do this, but since you need a price.

Ground, matching, no metal finish, refinished stock = parts rifle; only part thats good is the bolt and it has no finish. $75 rifle to me.

History? Adogs is right, could be done anywhere anytime; but if you like it $50, so now it is a $125 rifle, IMO.

The rifles in shipping boxes are a whole other story; bringback papers have some intrinsic value of their own.

If you have made up your mind, why try to convince us? Send the guy $200 and both of you will be happy.

It is not a question of 'caring' about such stuff, I have at least 12 Arisakas with this type of 'history'; Doss asked about the 'value', which is entirely in the eye of the beholder.

Since I'm heir to the rest of his 'history' rifles when he gets tired of them, I don't want him to pay too much!
