I'd check it real close for a corresponding burr on the piece of metal that caused the burr on the trigger assembly. Could be something got caught between them and caused the damage. Good that it's at least working again.
the part it contacts is the bolt body itself. I checked that quite thoroughly for burs as son as I got it loose enough to take out. I'm not sure if it was a small pebble or what but whatever caused it is gone now.

After working on the pin that projects upward on the front of the sear be sure to make this check--- (Unloaded!!) Activate the bolt but don't quite close it all the way. Now pull the trigger and see if it releases the firing pin. It should not. This is a safety feature that insures that the bolt is completely closed before firng. When the bolt is fullly closed that pin goes into a clearance slot in the bottom of the bolt. If too much material is removed from the top of the pin it will allow the sear to release the firing pin with the bolt partialy open. (not good!) Anytime you aquire an Arisaka perform this check. You don't know what modifications were made in the past. Salt Flat

a member on another site also informed me of the function of this part and the test. I performed it in every position imaginable, no fire unless completely closed. she's good to go.
