What is the value of 7.7 mm Japanese sniper rifle?

Answer 1

Value would depend on condition and how you know it was a sniper rifle. One thing to check for is to see if there is a cresanthimum stamped on top of the receiver. It will look like a series of overlapping circles just ahead of where the bolt is located. That was the sign of the emperior and if the gun was captured on the battle field, the design should still be there. If the gun was surrendered at the end of the war, it will have been ground off. The cresanthimum should make it somewhat more valuable for a collector. I have a 7.7mm and a 6.5mm but only one still has the flower. It will also depend on when the gun was made. When things started going bad for the Japanese during WW2, they cut a lot of corners and made cheaper weapons. One way to tell is if the rifle has a metal butt plate or wooden. Also, I think the sights were different towards the end of the war.

Answer 2

All WWII .30 caliber rifles were designed to shoot at approximately 900 to 1,000 yards, as a maximum effective range. Battlesight engagement "zero" varied from 250 to 500 yards. Another words, engagements were to be undertaken anywhere from 250, 500, 900 or 1,000 yards with expected efficiency. The "battlesight zero" was the normal max effective range expected for every day firefights. 900/1,000 yards would be a long range firefight.

WWII .30 caliber rifles were: 30-06, 303, 7mm, 7.62mm, 7.7mm, 8mm

WWII .25 caliber rifles were the 6.5mm

Answer 3

Value of ANY gun is based on exact make, model, and condition. Assuming yours is a military Arisaka, value could be $50 for a common rifle, poor condition, chrysanthemum marks ground away, converted to a sporter configuration, or $1000 for a scarce model, intact, complete, in Excellent condition. Sorry, simply not enough info to answer.
