ARISAKA TYPE 99 WRIST REPAIR?

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

A friend has asked me for advice on repairing the wrist on his type 99. I believe the conventional method of opening the crack and cleaning/ gluing the crack and clamping will
work. I cannot find any info on original Japanese armorer repairs. Was threaded rod used as with the SMLE? He wants a strong repair but the Kanji on the stock makes it to interesting to foul up with a non original appearing repair method. Any and all input appreciated.

I don't know what the Jap's did but I know what I'd do.
somebody's already been at that stock, correct? If it wasn't glued would come apart in two pieces?

I hope to put eyes on soon and I will answer. I suppose that answer would have some bearing on the method of repair.
Was assuming it was the open crack insert glue type but you may be right.

You bet, not a big deal though just more work for you.

The Japanese did not repair T-99 stocks , none ever went back to be repaired . The Kanji is not original to the rifle , it was added later . The stock has already been sanded and refinished . If you want to fire that rifle you are going to have to pin or bolt the crack .

I was beginning to think that was the case.

The Kanji is not original to the rifle , it was added later .

How can you tell? I know it was not issued as such but thought it might be period applied.
Again ,have seen it in person yet.

Thanks
