Second Rifle from the estate

 

[Dean]

This one is a Type 99 rifle that grandpa sporterized also (He did the Type 38 also). (Sporterizing. How to convert a Expensive collector item into a low value deer rifle.)

In addition to the cut stock and missing front band, the rear sight ladder is missing also.

It's almost as bad as giving an 8 year old boy a wood burning set! ( you younger fellas might not know what that is, but I do, and can still show you the results on some Lionel train cars :>(

Dean (the other one)

The rear sight ladder is there, Dean. The AA wings are "missing" on them, but since the rear band doesn't have the monopod base there is a big chance that rifle never left the factory with AA wings.

What would the selling price range be in its current condition?


Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the help!

I am well aware of the consequences of sporterizing. I always believed in maintaining history. If you want a deer rifle, buy one

I also remember the wood burning set, The best part was the smell of burning pine!!

What would the selling price range be in its current condition?

About $5 less than the other one.

What is the price of the other one?

Both of your rifles have been cut down and ruined as far as any collector value. They are worth about $75.00 a piece.
