It is a design that copys and modifies a mauser, but like a springfield I would put it in the military action category.

Looks aside, the Arisaka is not only a Mauser, it is perhaps THE STRONGEST Mauser action made.

nope, not a mauser action. there are some similarities, but still not a mauser action of any kind.

    Mauser or not, I have a type 38 that I had rebarreled in 260 Rem. With a nice stock and a Timney side safty trigger under it, It out shoots any of the other guns I own.

The link CLEARLY says it is a VARIATION of the Mauser design ,it does not say it is a Mauser that is called an Arisaka ! That does NOT mean it is a Mauser.
Strong rifle ? supposed to be.Similarities yep, MAUSER  NO.

   I took my rebuilt Type 38 Jap. Deer hunting this season. Everyone that saw it loved it but could not identify it. They all thought it was a Mauser! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
   BTW In 260 Rem with an ER Shaw barrel and a Timney side safety trigger, My Jap. is the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. I shot a deer at 220 yrds, held dead on and dropped it in it's tracks. ;D Bullet preformance was great, No heart or lungs left and a nice exit hole too.

When I go to the local range and pull out the 98 it is imediately recognized as a Mauser. Not so much the Arisaka. I get a lot of what in the world is that? about the JAP.

Engineered by Germans for the Japanese, but NOT a Mauser.

The word Mauser is sort of like aspirin or Xerox, it's used a little more freely than it really should be.  And ditto Bingo, I had one I put in 6.5X55.  It was outrageously accurate and loads could be stepped up quite a bit from Swedish data.  I'm new to the forum, names's Doug, enjoy reading and yakking about guns, reloading, hunting etc.

Sorry guys but I disagree. The springfield was close enough to the mauser that we ended up paying royalties! and the Arisaka is just as close. The mauser patents covered such things as a flush mounted box magazine with the capability to load with stripper clips,,as does the Arisaka. The 2 forward locking lugs and 90 degree locking, ditto the arisaka.. The Arisaka's bolt is drastically different and much simpler. The trigger is very similar... Had Herr Mausers patents still been in force.. the Japanese would likely have joined us in paying royalties.. Is the Arisaka a Mauser, strictly speaking no, it's a mauser clone..

Me too.  Mauser's design was a true inspiration.  It was, design wise, way ahead of all the countries that 'copied it' in some way, shape, manner, or form - like the US, Japan, USSR, etc. - except maybe Brits with the Lee-Enfield line.  WWI ended the much deserved royalty payments.

the Arisaka actions were so strong P.O. Ackley couldn't blow em up during his testing, the barrel threads would strip and the barrel would shoot off.
 
He blew everything else to smitherenes----overloading powder and obstructing barrels.
 
that is the preferred action to build a custom 45-70 bolt action, great for hogs, bears, even elk
