They were 6.5 and 7.7 mm. Not sure if that is a type 99 or a 30. The stocks were motly two piece because large trees big enough for a one piece stock in Japan during the war were rare! Looks like it had a problem with the bolt handle.

Nope not allot of value there.

The stock issue is a bit perplexing because the Japanese had plenty of Asian holdings at that time for excellent wood supplies. Must have been a supply line thing
 
The single vent hole on top of the receiver bridge identifies it as a Type 99 Arisaka, and they were only made in 7.7x58 Jap. But, considering that it's been sporterized it's anyones guess as to whether your uncle had its chamber modified to accept another cartridge. Unless you found documents he left or ammo he used, I would recommend a gunsmith do a chamber cast for a positive identification. The markings indicate it was made at a Mazda mfg facility in WW2 era Japan. Hope this helps - Tim of Vancouver
