I have a Type 38 Arisaka. A former Army armorer has a scope similar to this http://www.castle-thunder.com/model.htm (Scroll 'bout half way down the page) that he would like to sell. From what I can find, these kinds of scopes were used on the Type 99. Anyone know if the Type 38 was ever used as a sniper rifle? Mine isn't drilled or tapped, so would doing that ruin any collector value? Any idea how I can find out what a fair price would be for the scope?
