The people responding to this thread are not used to all the blubber being tacked on to the actual price. Get your 03/COE and it will pay for itself within 1-2 buys.

Yeah, I don't think the price is all that bad, maybe a little high, but not horrible. It would be easier to be sure if the photos were better (decent light, in focus, little things like that). Probably $30 of the $425 price is shipping.
The additional $111 is good old fashioned prison lovin'.

Thank you again for the advice all. Since I'm passing on here is the ad in case anyone wants it.

This. You'll still have to pay the same transfer fees you do now if you have C&R pistols shipped in as they go to an 01FFL but long guns arrive on your doorstep. The only additional cost is $19 to the DOJ for the monthly (if you buy more in a 30 day period- $19 for one long gun or 5) registration form.C&R nut.Comment

An unsanded stock should still have some sharp, defined edges that are right angles, not rounded. Type 99 stocks were finished with a unique, durable Japanese lacquer called urushi that has a reddish brown color, semigloss sheen, and often what looks like particulate matter in it that was part of the finishing process. An unsanded stock should still have visible inspector's stamps on the bottom.
Compare the color and appearance of the OP's stock (granted, the pictures aren't great).

If you really, really want a good condition type 99 that is a good price. It is worth what you are willing to spend. Excellent to good condition Arisakas are hard to find.Comment

Those familiar to Arisakas can tell at a glance the originality of the stock.
The urushiol laquer has a unique appearance, and each arsenal has subtle variations of hue.
For instance the Toyo Kogyo tends to be a redder tone than say a Nagoya which can be generally more orangey.
The scratches dings and bruises very commonly tend to turn black over time on Arisaka stocks. Lacking this is almost sure sign of refinish

It seems people can get too hung up on the flower fetish, an intact mum being the be all, end all to the deal.
I personally would much rather have an mum ground Arisaka with its original undiked-with matching components and stock. Than to have one with a nice pretty flower but being a slapped together fantasy piece.
Arisakas have a ton of subtle variations, and without a book or someone who knows what they are looking at its easy to get taken with a mismatch piece.
My advice if you are looking to get an good Arisaka is to do your research and find a legitimate original rifle.

I was also on the quest for a mum intact rifle. That being said I recently discovered a $475 Type 99 Sniper Variant with no mum that I jumped on so I broke my own rule, justified by having the chance to secure a scarce version of the T99. I'll post pictures once I get it.Comment

Seems a little steepFound one out of state.
Mum intact, not last ditch, has AA sights. Overall decent condition.
$425 shipped, factor in DROs of $75 and $36 for sales tax. $536 OTD.
Am I overpaying? Or would you say this is acceptable per todays market considering the mum / AA sights.
Thank you all in advance.

Cant say it has been sanded from the pics. The stock cross bolt recess doesnt look rounded. It wasnt refinished with shellac, might be dry. I like the dried grease and dust bunnys on the sight. Pics are pretty bad cant see much. If its correct 70% finish with a bright chrome bore you could make a slightly lower offer and not feel too bad.Calguns- redacted more than Hillarys bengazi emails.
