The guy I bought mine from said he has shot them with 38 S&W. I haven't tried it yet, but they do chamber.

First thing you need to do is determine the manufacturer and series number (serial number does't help as they repeat themselves in each series). Did he save the stock and handguard? Saving all the...
Note to Jon,
It's the sun, not us.

Part of the fun for me, of collecting these old weapons, is getting the books that give all the history involved. "The United States Rifle Model of 1917" by C.S. Ferris is a very good book.
...
You will have to do the shopping. Some of the sites you might try are:
Numrich Gun Parts Corp.
Sarco
Don Schlickman Don
ebay
Good luck!

The battle sight for the '03 was 547 yds. The m1917 was 450. Without checking the books, I'd say the M1917 might be a bit heavier than an '03A3.
So, depending on what distance you are shooting, a...
The star in the circle was put there by Winchester. There are a couple of explanations in C.S. Ferris' book (an excellent book on the M1917). It indicated the receiver was acceptable for...
Besides ammo, cleaning supplies, and an occasional "find", I go to gunshows for books. I try to have a book or more on every milsurp firearm I have. A basic book on Japanese rifles is "Japanese...
IMA and Atlanta Cutlery are both selling the short lever, "as found" rifles. They are known as the "Francotte Patent" with no cocking indicator or receiver markings. I'll email you the webpage from...
The fact that the bolt matches is a plus. So many of them got swapped in transit from Japan to the U.S. One of the theories is the Navy took them out for the voyage and when they arrived stateside,...
All of the items you are looking for are appropriate for the make and series. I don't know how much you paid for the rifle, but original parts will not be inexpensive. The Kokura 22 series was made...
I take it you have done your "homework" and you know that the parts you are looking for are correct for the make and series of your type 99. The parts changed or were ommited as the war progressed. ...
Kroil. See if you can get some Kroil down there on the screw, and let it soak over night.

Something I don't think that has been mentioned is the political invironmment we are living in. I really thought this ammo panic would have died down by now. It hasn't. I think the factors are...
All I found in the book was, Estimated date of production: June 1906 to March 1932.
Known serial number range: 349 - 209066
You can "guestimate" the manufacture date by the date range and serial...
In checking "The Type 38 Arisaka" by Francis C. Allan and Harold W. Macy, the 5th series Nagoya carbine was estimated to be made between June 1941 to Sept 1942. I think the actual records were...

I checked some other sources for bolts. Poppert's has a type 99 bolt for $65. But then you get into manufacturor, series, and such. It's like asking to buy a front bumper for your car. Do you...
Price-out Japanese helmets on ebay. Wifey might be surprised how much the whole "ensemble" is worth.

Good report and sound advice Dobek. And BK, that's another reason I have a C&R! Granted, here in California, it won't buy you a cup of coffee in regards to handguns, but it sure is handy buying C&R...
Good report, thanks for the update! I made a "bound book" with copies of the example page in the Instruction manual. I also have a complete inventory of everything I have (including pre-C&R), by...
Some of us, who maybe have lived a little longer, might possibly have learned that sometimes it's better not to "telegraph" one's intentions. This is especially true on a public forum.

How could this be happening? Illinois deported their left-wing liberals to California 50 years ago! That's why we already have all of these anti-Second Amendment laws here!

JohnM, I sent you the website of the neurosurgeon who "fixed" me. Please forward it the Rev. Joel. Maybe the information might help.
