The WW2 Japanese Arisaka 7.7mm rifle was tested by the NRA (National Rifle Association) in the early 1960's, and was compared to the German Mauser (8mm), British Lee-Enfield (.303), Italian Carcano (6.5mm), Russian Nagant 7.62mm, and US Springfield 30-06 rifles; all of which are bolt action WW2 service rifles (although the US Springfield '06 was originally adapted by the US Army in 1906 and used in WW1, and was replaced by the semi-automatic M-1 Garand in WW2-which also fired the same round...30-06).
The Arisaka 7.7mm, proved to have the strongest action, having been the only rifle to have held up when firing high pressure loads. The Swedish ammunition company NORMA, makes cartridges using new brass, for the 7.7mm; and has made ammo for the Arisaka rifle since the 1960's.
Arisaka's with the Imperial insignia, the "Chrysanthemum", still on the receiver are condsidered "battle-field pick-ups", and have FAR MORE value than a 7.7mm which has it's Chrysanthemum filed off. Filed off Chrysanthemum's are considered surrendered rifles. Rifles with NO "ORIGINAL" INSIGNIA on them were normally "TRAINING RIFLES-USED FOR FIRING BLANKS"-DO NOT USE LIVE AMMO IN THOSE TRAINING RIFLES!
Arisaka's in full military dress (not sporterized/customized/and often referred to as "butchered" by people who collect WW2 rifles) bring FAR MORE value than a "sporterized 7.7mm" rifle.
The "break-down" paratrooper model will normally bring more value than a standard issue infantrymen's Arisaka rifle. Books are available over the net, that specialize in the Arisaka rifles. Prices fluctuate with all collectible equipment material. Therefore a person MUST obtain a book on the item, then a self appraisal must be made by yourself using the "Shooter's Bible" type blue books as a guide.

Where do you find information regarding a rifle that was taken in World War 2 from a Japanese soldier?
The standard Japanese rifle of WWII was the Arisaka Type 38. It was a "38" because it entered production in the 38th year of the Emperor Meiji's Reign, in 1905 by the western calendar. This was a 6.5 X 50 MM weapon (roughly .25 caliber) a very small projectile in comparison to the standard shoulder arm of most other nations. It was a bolt action rifle of the Mauser pattern. There were several different variations. The rifles were produced at several different arsenals. The ones I have seen have no serial numbers, but do bear markings indicating the year of manufacture and the arsenal which produced it.Because the light 6.5 X 50MM cartridge was unsatisfactory the Japanese began introducing the Type 99 Arisaka in 1939. The plan was to convert completely to the Type 99 but due to the war this was never possible. The Type 99 was very similar to the Type 38 but was a 7.7MM rifle.Here's an article with some info:http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_5_50/ai_114283920/There are also Wikipedia articles with illustrations of some of the different types - look under "Arisaka".

50-500 depending on EXACTLY what you have , condition, accessories, etc..
How do you locate were a arisaka type 99 came from?
You have a Japanese WWII bolt action rifle built in 1939 (M-1939, the '99 is a Japanese year). It's 7.7mm (the same caliber as the British .303 Lee-Enfield bolt action rifle...BULLET diameter only; not the cartridge). If the rifle still has the "MUM" on it (MUM is short for CHRYSANTHEMUM, which was the Emperor's Symbol), then it's most likely a "war souvenir" (Battle field pick up). If the MUM's filed off/ground off, it was a surrendered weapon. Most riflemen like the Arisaka which still has the MUM on it. These were the strongest WWII rifles constructed during the war; according to blow up tests conducted by the NRA in the 1960's. Only about 64 pages, but recommend purchasing: "Japanese Rifles of World War II". 1996. By Duncan O. McCollum; ISBN 1-880677-113. Also the websites have markings information. Japanese rifles during the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905 were 6.5mm. Type 30 & 38 Arisakas.

Arisaka type99 last ditch with the mum untouched bores not pitted Has wood butt plate and the weld bolt whats it worth?
Training rifles did not have a mum. The last ditch Type 99's with mum are almost impossible to get so it could have a little more value than a normal Type 99, but probably not much more.

Will a 7.92x57mm bullet shoot in a 125 japanese gun?
Not sure what you mean by "125". If you're referring to the 7.7x58 Arisaka rifles (such as the Type 99), then no. The 7.92x57 Mauser casings can be fire formed to the correct dimensions for reloads, but cannot be used as is. The projectile used in the 7.7 Arisaka cartridge is actually the same as used in the British .303 (7.7x56R) cartridge. After the war, there were some Type 99 rechambered for the 7.92x57 Mauser cartridge for the Kuomitang (Nationalist Chinese), but these are extremely rare to encounter on the market. Some rifles were also rechambered for the US .30-06 (7.62x63) for the South Koreans. These are also very uncommon.

Why would someone cut off the stock on an arisaka type 99 rifle?
Perhaps you are seeing a "duffle bag" cut. After WW II, soldiers that wanted to bring a rifle home would cut the stock, so that it would fit in their duffle bag without being seen.
