    Last ditch safety knob

    I have a Izawa Jyuko series 9 last ditch arisaka, that was given to me. The bolt is missing the safety knob and the gun is missing the magazine spring and follower as well. My question, can I use any last ditch safety knob,(spring and follower) our does it have to be arsenal specific?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Welcome to the forum, Spevin. With these sorts of questions it normally helps to post a few photos to illustrate your point because, as they say, "a picture speaks a thousand words".

    It's relatively simple to post photos once you've done it a few times.

    Since IJ was supervised by Nagoya I would try some late Nagoya parts . Series 8 and 10 are common rifles so the parts are not too hard to find .

    Here's a pic. The rifle was coated in cosmolineicon, including the stock. Is this a original stock or sported? Notice the leather butt plate. Another curiosity? No sling attachment.

    The rifle has the stock cut off and sanded so much the shape has changed and the sling swivel mounting hole is gone . The buttplate has also been added after the original was removed .

  8. Thank You to bob q For This Useful Post:

    Parts should be interchangeable. Only reason to get arsenal specific would be for collector purposes but that rifle has a lot of issues that more or less make that point moot. Making a shooter pretty easy, restoring it pretty expensive.

    Actually they are although some may require some minor fitting. It's done all the time.

    Tell us about that join along the butt, someone, please. Was it common practice at the end of the war?

    I have over 250 Type 99 rifles , every maker , every series and every 10,000 block . I have a pile of parts . Most parts will not interchange between makers , not even close . You have no idea what you are talking about . Do not give the guy bad advice that will make him buy parts that will not fit his rifle .
