My .45 ACP Arisaka Action
Hey guys,
First of all, I'm sorry if these pics aren't in chronological order, but I'm not very good at making threads.
I had posted earlier that I was planning on putting a .45 ACP barrel on my type 38 action.
Finished it last night.

Testing the thread fit in the action.

Next, I put the bolt, minus the extractor in and started using spotting compound to bore out the recess for the bolt face. Every time I got closer and closer, I would mark it with a black sharpie marker and close the bolt a couple times, which would rub the sharpie off and show that more needed to be taken off.

Here's a pic of the threaded barrel, with all the moly-dee cutting oil cleaned off.
