Type 38 with type 99 bolt?

[Old Joe]

As I was doing the anual cleaning on my Arisaka's I pulled out a type 38 that had givin ( as I remember) problems on the range with misfires ect. I pulled out the bolt and to my shock found it was actually a type 99 bolt with an earlier safety.

This bolt will only fit into this Type 38 Rifle and my Type 99's

The Mum of this Rifle is ground yet clearly someone had taken care of it..

As i am now as confused as a monkey shot into Space, I leave these images for your gentlemans approval..

I have layed out all three bolts with the ground one being in the middle
