this is a real smart fellow that figured this answer out. Does anyone have a real answer for my question. Also this rifle has a stock that was cut down aka sporterized. So I am wondering if its worth buying a new old stock for it.
*************
There were several different rifles used by the Japanese military in WW II. The "mum" was the symbol of the Emperor of Japan- rifles captured in combat will have an intact Mum- those surrendered at the end of the war had the Mum ground off- So an intact Mum increases the value. That's the good news. Now the bad news- Sporterizing a collectible military rifle greatly drops it's value as a collector's item- as does anything that is not original to the weapon. The specific value of a specific firearm will be based on make, model, and condition (and originality). A sporterized 7.7mm Arisaka may be worth $50 and up- an original with an intact Mum, several hundred dollars. Returning the rifle to its original configuration MAY increase it's value to some degree- but there is simply no way I can assess the value of your rifle without seeing it. Your best source of information will be to have a gun dealer experienced in military arms examine it. Sorry-

The receiver is the frame of a firearm- in modern firearms, it is the part that the barrel connects to.
