riceone Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I seem to remember that you said you might be going to Columbus, MS sometime in the near future and might come by to see me. riceone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Peterbilt(PACCAR) is building a truck engine factory at Columbus and we were told some of us would get to go down there on a trip,but haven't heard anything about it in a while.I really would like to make your next gunshow and will try.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceone Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Jerry, I got your check today, thanks. Hope you are satisfied. roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Satisfied!!! You gotta be kidding.You sent me a humdinger action and barrel and am real cotton-pickin happy with it.Now I'm looking around for a bolt.Bare bolts are going for about 50 bucks on GunBroker,but I've got a bid on one that came up yesterday.Some dude just listed quite a few Arisaka parts,and one of his bolts he listed as just a t99 is a Last Ditch.Glad I seen that before I bid.Thanks very much for the deal Roy.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Type 99 bolts will not fit in the type 38. Last ditches are not dangerous by the way, it is an old myth that has been debunked. I have shot a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceone Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Horsefly, if you are not in too big a hurry I can fix you up with a bolt and add what ever type handle you want. Brownell sells a handle, looks like the old Win 70 that I have used. I have m ade some butter knife handles but that's work. riceone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks for the offer Roy! I just bought a bolt off Gunbroker but haven't recieved it yet.I do need to get the handle changed.I'll get out the Brownell's book and order the handle.Sure thought I'd have my shop finished and wired by now so I could get the welder set up,but summer has set in here and is hard to get in the mood.If you think you could do the bolt handle for me,man that would be great.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceone Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sure, send it over here with the handle. I weld it and rough it out to maker sure there are no flaws in the weld and let you finish it. riceone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Riceone,if the offer to weld a handle on my bolt is still good,I'll get it down to you as soon as I order and get the handle.It's been so hot,I haven't put much time out in the shop.I really thought by now I'd have my shop finished,air conditioned,and have a tig welder,but what can I say?

bkranch Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Horsefly,did you ever finish that Type 99?How about some pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 No bk,haven't done much on my 99 yet,and have a bunch of other projects on hold too.I'm restoring an old barn,and my gun room work shop is part of the barn,was actually the tack room,and all my time has gone into it.Right now I'm trying to get the room finished so I'll have a place to go and hide on days that's too cold to work on the barn.I've got 2 35 Whelens,a .270,-06,and a .22-250,oh ya,and the Jap to finish,not counting several repairs.I gotta set some goals I reckon.
