Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
When we left off I had just won an auction for a used replacement bolt.
Time to get the bolt cleaned up, reblued and installed in the rifle
An initial inspection revealed that it was missing the take-down pin, I had the one from my other bolt, but it was a bit too tight to get started
so I broke out my supply of pin stock
I found one that fit snug, but was a bit too long, so I filed it flush
After polishing the bolt's bare metal surfaces and oiling it, the project is complete. I topped it off with the "Super Sling" that came on my Arisaka project from a few years ago.
