Peter, I purchased some 7.7 JAP ammo from Mr. Nambu and I shot my TK for the first time this weekend. After a few warm up shots into the berm to get the feel of the rifle, I loaded five and shot off hand. I was happy to see four hits in the black (200 yards reduced) at 100 yards with one flyer (due ...

Peter, I'm sure I will eventually take it down to my club. Unfortunately, the ammo is expensive and the trigger pull on this rifle is terrible. With a little stoning, polishing and lubrication, I'm sure I can remedy that problem, but that would require breaking all of the staked action screws. I nor...

Peter, I finally cleaned it up. I am waiting on a repo cleaning rod and that will have to do until I can find an original that's correct for this rifle. It is all Toyo Kogyo, however the TK bolt matches itself and not the receiver. I love the color of the wood. Regards, Steve [pic]http://i7.photobuc...

Peter,

Thanks for the information. I'll be able to pick it up next week (10 day waiting period).

I'll post pictures as soon as I clean it up a bit.

I just bought a late 33 series and the stock has that same red color. Did Toyo Kogyo use different wood? Does yours have the hole for the cleaning rod? Is the end of your safety smooth or rough? Thanks for the information. Steven Poulos

Thanks for all of the great advice. Up to this point, most of my gunsmithing has been limited to my Garands. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something, before I decided to do it myself or send it out. I'm going to measure the amount of play, build up the magazine catch with solder a...

Ishapore 2A1 problem

I do not shoot my 2A1 very much because the magazine does not remain locked tight in the action. The bolt chambers the first round or two, and then passes over the remaining rounds in the magazine. If I push the magazine tight, the bolt will chamber another round and then it will pass over the rest....
