My in laws just gave me a pair of Arisakas that belonged to my now deceased grandfather in law. I'm new to Arisakas so feel free to educate me but they appear to be a 99 rifle and a 38 carbine. The rifle is seized and I can't open the bolt.
The bolt won't budge forward or back and the handle won't rotate down fully into battery. using the cleaning rod I determined that it is unloaded but other than that I made no progress. I tried disassembling it but the two screws in the take down lever won't come all the way out and I can't get anything to come free of the action after backing out the screws. The safety won't rotate but I can push it in a fraction of an inch. It is also pushed in a bit more than the free safety on the carbine which operates normally. If anyone has any ideas on how to free the bold on the rifle I would greatly appreciate it.
