Probably not. But if you want to see why I question it, try to look up P. O. Ackley's testson military actions. The arisaka was the only one he could not get to fail. I think he eventually sent a barrel downrange after loading too-large-for-bore bullets in the chamber and the action remained undamaged thought eh barrel eventually parted ways with the action. action was considered to be the strongest of all military bolt actions at the time of the testing .. and that included the M98, the Springfield, Enfield ... all of them.
