I bought a Sporterized Arisaka a few months back. A pretty little gun actually. The previous owner put it in a nice walnut stock, the bolt is bent and it has a scope. The trigger is decent, and it still uses the original safety (which I think is neat). When I push in the safety knob and turn it clock wise the safety engages, however if I so much as touch the bolt the safety disengages. I have fiddled around with it for some time, and very (very) occasionally have been able to get it to function properly. I have disassembled it, inspected it, compared it (both the safety knob and the slot on the received it slides into) to multiple pictures of other Arisaka safeties and mine seems to look alright, yet still malfunctions. Any insight you good gentleman may have to offer would be very much appreciated. P.s. I did take it to a gun smith who was also unable to get it working properly.
