they over pressured them past 120,000 psi without a single failure. After the war they shipped Type 99 rifles to the aberden proving facility and they found out the Arisaka had about the most robust receivers ever made in a military rifle.

after WW 2 occupation forces blew up training rifles that were never intended for full load ammo. People think they are dangerous to shoot. these rifles get a bad rap from miss information.

one a early production and one later but not last ditch. You can fire the gun with the bolt handle straight up - with the bolt unlocked in the receiver.I recently got my first and second Type 99.

Here are some more pictures for those interested.Д«TW, this is a potentially dangerous rifle. The bolt slid in and now the rifle works perfectly. I made sure before placing the bolt back in the rifle that the cocking lug was pointing straight down, and the handle straight up.

The spring looks absolutely brand new.ДЄfter a quick wipedown, I reassembled the bolt. There bolt assembly is likewise pristine. Then, for the first time in my memory, I was able to look down the bore of this rifle. Then it, the spring and the firing pin popped completely out of the bolt. When I had it back as far as it would go, I pushed in the safety and it twisted. I used a long, thing screwdriver to puch the cocking lug backwards. I found that whoever assembled the rifle last somehow managed to push the bolt into the receiver, with the cocking lug in the bolt lug channel! The cocking lug them popped up inside the hole covered by the bolt-stop block. This revealed a large hole where I could peer into the action. I took the bolt-stop block off the left side of the receiver. Last edited by lescoulee Septemat 02:30 PM. It's still sitting in my rifle cabinet in the same condition from that day, fwiw. We used that method to disassemble both my dad's rifle and my friend's rifle as well. If you use a thin screwdriver to push that tooth back far enough to allow you to rotate the bolt you can then extract the bolt, disassemble it and then reassemble it correctly. If you remove the action from the stock and look (again, IIRC) on the left side of the action (opposite the bolt handle) there's a slot giving access to a spring-loaded 'tooth' or detente that locks the bolt in place (like a bolt in a door lock engaging the door frame). The problem (IIRC) is that whoever disassembled the bolt on your rifle reassembled it with the safety knob installed 'upside down' (or rotated 180 degrees from correct installation). Naturally, we disassembled my dad's rifle and succeeded in duplicating the problem and locking it up as well! We borrowed one of my Dad's Arisakas to diagnose the cause. My best friend was given a very ratty Arisaka as payment for mowing a lawn. I had an experience with exactly the same problem in High School 30+ years ago. I've tried the internet remedies to open the bolt - to no avail. There are no obvious welds holding it shut. This appears to be a rather common problem with these rifles. Both the bayonet and the rifle bear the Nagoya symbol.ДЄnd more pressing, the bolt is locked closed. The stock and metal finsih seem particularly good. Other than 60+ years of closet wear and tear, I'm not sure this rifle was ever issued. Apparently, there were piles of them for the soldiers to take. This particular example was picked up by my grandfather's brother in Japan after the surrender. This is my Arisaka Type 99 'Last Ditch' rifle.
