I have an early war type 99 arisaka that i recently purchased but there is a problem with the firing pin spring. When inserted into the firing pin sleeve, it is supposed to go all the way in with nothing sticking out the top but the spring in mine goes all the way in and there is still about an inch sticking out so when i put the safty knob back on, I have to guide it the rest of the way into the sleeve. However, when fully assembled it functions fine (so I think, I have never fired it). I was just wondering why my firing pin spring is too long. Perhaps it is the wrong spring for the gun? I don't really know so any help would be appreciated.
