[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1005247, member: 5412"] Looking at yours, it looks like the wood is in pretty good shape from what can be seen from the pics. It might be worth a refinishing job to dress it up. It time consuming, but it a fun project. I recently acquired this Arisaka. It borrowed a lot of technology from the German Mauser.(some designs like the claw extractor for the German Mauser) P.O. Ackley did many tests with the Arisaka action. He was hired by the factories to do tests on actions to see what it took to make them destruct. The Arisaka action was the only one that he could not blow up. Mine has been re-barreled with a Douglas barrel in .300 Savage. Identical ballistics to the .308 Win. Custom Bishop stock and it will shoot a 1 1/2 group at 100yds with the old K2 4X Weaver scope. Took a couple of does with it this year. :D [attach=full]73146[/attach] [attach=full]73147[/attach] [attach=full]73148[/attach] [attach=full]73149[/attach] [attach=full]73150[/attach] [/QUOTE]
