1st off...they are your rifles... do with them as you wish...
that said, the Arisaka rifles seem harder to get than many other period rifles...
I have a carbine I picked up that I think is a complete rifle ( with MUM ) but the stock has been replaced with a regular rifle stock, cut down to fit the carbine... some time I'd like to find an original carbine stock, but I think those are pretty rare... I bought mine to shoot though, & it functions just fine, with the wrong stock
Butt... I do think yours would look nice in a display, with one refinished to like new, along side one that looks like it went through the hell, that war is...
