AFD,
This is a simple fix and no 'smith is needed unless you are new to guns and feel you would not recognize damaged or altered parts.
I responded in a post dated January 14th of this year on THR with photos and a fairly detailed dis-assembly procedure.
Am betting this is your situation.
You can find it on that site with the keywords 'Japanese 38' or searching my handle.
Sounds like the firing pin sear lug is in the bolt release area.
Unless parts have been modified this is a result of incorrect assembly by someone, not a design failure.
This is a five minute process with the barreled - CHECK the barrel for a round!! as described - action out of the wood.
Cost will be for you to post a couple of photos when you get it put back together.
Let's hear back now, JT
