| bolt handle cracked on first use gave it to the gunsmith I owed a favor to |

The Arisaka is a very simple bolt design and the rear safety knob is quick to operate. The 6.5-257 was a very popular wildcat, but they usually were rechambered military barrels. I would take a chamber casting. Not a bad price, if you like inlet, glass bed, finish your own stocks. |
| Took a class in stockmaking in college and still have all the gouges,scrapers that we had to make etc. It should be a fun project. I want to do a boyds laminated. Will be doing a chamber cast soon. it has a 25 caliber barrel that's why I'm thinking it's .257 roberts. |

They used to take 0.257" bullets and drop them down the muzzle of mil-surp 6.5mm's to see how much the bore was worn. The Boyd's stock is nice, but heavy and oversized (IMO) for such a trim action. Do not fear the rasp, become one with it! |
PS Brownells suggested a Weaver #70, which is Weaver's suggested Arisaka base. thank god I had the foresight to measure one at a local shop BEFORE I bought it the hole spacing is 0.65" and 3.68" Well at least I didn't waste time/money aggravation their Tech expert didn't look up hole spacing just the Action make .
This time I e-mailed Leopold direct with hole spacing and Receiver dia. ONLY. I been waiting three days now for a reply tic-toc

. Slugged the barrel and yes it's a .25 cal. chamber, cast hopefully in the next 2 weeks
