Thread: Timney trigger to T38
Started 4 months, 3 weeks ago by kublai Khan
Hello guys, Has anybody around has put a Timney Trigger to an Arisaka T38? I have that in mind, because it has a good safety, but it looks much complicated to me. I've been using a Huber Concepts trigger, with original bolt safety with no problem, besides it's not very fast and confortable to operate. Any experience or recommendation around? KHAN

How do you operate the Arisaka safety? I have had and shot many T38's and T99's and always used the palm of my hand to twist the safety knob. I found it quick and handy myself but I was not using any optics which might be in the way of your hand. All of mine were in full military condition or lightly sporterized.

Thanks - found it - Triger #313 for 7.7 (T99). Timney's site doesn't easily show the T99, just the T38 - had to call'em. Figure $95 + ...

Well, according to what I read in the trigger instructions, putting an Timney to an old Arisaka, like mine (1939) is far from easy for hobbist, and even for a pro. That is because, maybe, the one that you can get as it is from the factory, might not fit immediatelly in many cases. That is because the firing pin as well as some of the action and bolt parts have too much wear, and probabily you'll ...

I have a Timney on a 38 but when it was done by the smith that modified the entire rifle, the triggers with the safety were not available, so I still use the original. When I use the safety, which is rare, I use kublai's technique to set it and the thumb to remove.

I have a good friend that has modified his T-99 safety knob, for use with a scope, by drilling it and welding in a piece of rod so as to make a lever that he can turn with his thumb, both on and off. If you have a nice knurled safety knob you might want to trade with someone who has a late war knob which are welded on and not knurled. There is nothing wrong with the welded knobs, just not as ...

Yes, that's what I'm gonna do. I have a spare safety knob that I bought from Numrich which I'm gonna take to a shop to weld a piece of steel on a side. That way I can keep the original as it is with the mum stamped on it, and let the Huber Concepts trigger in place.

Well, Let Me Ask, Is The Safety Knob The Original One?, Or Is It A Replecement. I'm Not Sure If The Way You Take The Safety Off Is &quot;safe&quot; Enough. I Think (with All My Respect) The Safety Is Not Engaging As Far As It Must Go. Let Me Tell You That The Same Thing Happened To My Replacement Safety Knob When It Was Beeing Adjusted By The Gunsmith. It Was Until He Took Away Enough Steel From The Firing Pin Channel In The...

I have a sporterized Arisaka, looks to some youngsters project gun from the 50's or 60's. The safety works in the usual manner, but it has been modified somehow so that all one needs to do to take the safety off is lift the bolt handle a bit. I haven't looked at the mechanics of the mod yet.
