Nambu reduced the number of parts making up the Type 30's bolt from nine to six and at that same time simplified manufacture and disassembly of the bolt without the need of tools. It was designed by Major Kijirō Nambu who used the Type 30 rifle (an actual rifle designed by Colonel Arisaka Nariakira) as the base for a redesign. The Type 38 rifle (三八式歩兵铳 san-hachi-shiki hoheijū), sometimes referred to as the Arisaka, was a bolt-action rifle used by Imperial Japanese Army in 1905 (the 38th year of the Meiji period, hence "Type 38") and served from then until the end of 1945. For the Japanese Patrol Boat of the same designation, see Type 38
