Arisaka Type 99 Trigger Problems
Hey all, hoping someone with more gun expertise can help me resolve my Arisaka type 99 problems. I'll try and describe the issue the best of my ability. I just put the trigger, sear and sear spring on. I placed the bolt into the barrel and was able to lock it into place. When the trigger is pulled it doesn't release the pin to dry fire the weapon. The trigger doesn't actually pull back when pulled. There is a upright pin the sear spring sits on and it may not be passing through the frame enough to allow the other side of the sear to drop and release the firing pin. Has anyone had similar problems with trigger/sear assembly on the 99?

Does the trigger move? Spring tension?

In this video he takes it all the way down.
At 11:40 he takes the trigger apart. At 15:10 he puts the trigger back in. Maybe something in the vid might help with your problem

The best advice I can give you is to disassemble and start over. I know that its a pain in the butt tearing the stock, barrel bands etc down but its what I would do and have done many times. I threw in a close up of the type 99 trigger assembly.... And with that, I bid you goodnight.

The only other thing that I can think of is that perhaps the top tang piece is built to work with the bolt somehow and not having it present in the current configuration is causing the sear to not work properly. I'm usually really good with guns and figuring them out but do get stumped on a few here and there.

I don't believe the tang should have anything to do with it. Should fire stripped down. With the bolt out of the gun, pull the trigger all the way back and snap a photo of how high the sear pin protrudes through the receiver... Basically the same picture as your third one but hold the trigger back. I can then compare the height to mine and see if it is long enough to release the firing pin.

You don't have the safety knob turned to safe on the bolt do you?
