If it's a gasoline generator, try running non-ethanol gas if not the highest pump gas 93 octane. Anything else in mine runs like, well you get the picture. Congrats on the Nambu!

Yeah, the generator kept sputtering out on me. Some dry gas cleared it up, it's much better now. ALL gas around here is 10% - 15% ethanol. Phone lines are good, so evidently no poles down. My dog likes her sweater. 65º now!

[QUOTE=sheepherder;246626]Ice storm last night; roads closed, transformers blowing up, power lines down, entire city & town of Lockport still without power. I had to hack into my furnace wiring and sacrifice an extension cord to run the furnace. I can run the PC but it's really sluggish...

No power sucks. Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations. It is amazing how things all go to he** the second the power stops coming into the home.
Hang in there. dju |

From Teri's site I know it is a Nagoya June 1943 T14...
18.6 = June 1943 Right side - 3 symbols Nagoya Arsenal logo, the Nambu company logo and the First Series marker + serial number Only running PC once an hour...No emails...That's bad...means my ISP [in Lockport city] has no power either... Edit: OK! 10:35pm power came back on! Yay! Still no emails, but I imagine it takes time to spool up all those servers...If anybody is even at the office...

Saw a Bolo on the market, matching, NRA Good. I don't need it, but the asking price was attractive, about $30. So, why not buy one, as a small "investment"... so I ordered one. But it turned out the price was a mistake, a tagging error. The corrected price was not bad, but not investable anymore. Order cancelled. So, no more guns for 2013.

Bought a 14 and sword from a local vet friend recently.
Still had 20 rounds in the pouch. Pistol and ammo have been in the holster since the war and all in mint condition. I know that is not always the case, but I have seen it before. Seen some bad ones as well. |

The grips are interesting; I don't recall if Teri addressed that on her site - Why do some Type 14's have completely checkered/grooved grips, and some only 75%??? BTW: How difficult is it to field strip the T14??? Does the trigger guard sequence pull down easily or is it a bear that requires three hands??? (I've read the takedown procedure; it sounds hard)...

The really late pistols have flat slab grips with no grooves. Just a cost or time measure, I would guess. Late rifle stocks got pretty crude as well.
The pistol and sword I mentioned came from "Salvage" at Nagasaki. The sword is a really late machine made example. While the scabbard has a typical throat, hanger loop, and the little band in the middle, it has just a sheet of copper wrapped around the tip-looks like they ran out of the standard bits. |

The field strip is a two hand operation if you push the barrel against something (table, work bench etc) instead of pushing with your hand. The rest is easy, as long as the trigger guard slides off as it should. If it's stuck, soak in Kroil, then tap it loose with a hammer and a nylon punch. |
