A friend has asked me to help deactivate his Type 99 rifle for display. He doesn't want to do permanent damage to the rifle, but wants to ensure it cannot be fired. I was thinking of removing the firing pin, but I'm concerned that without the firing pin in place, the reassembled bolt may not stay in one piece. (I've run into a problem when removing the striker from the U.S. Model 1903 rifle.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for deactivating a Type 99 for display without doing permanent damage to the rifle? Thank you.
