Ishapore Project

[Dpniwa]

]I finally have her finished. I rust blued all the metal parts. It was time consuming, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! The only thing that's missing is the extractor spring (I broke it when I tried to install). As soon as the new one arrives I'll try her out. Headspace passed with a field gauge - I'm wondering if I should invest in go / no-go gauges.
I realize building them this way is more expensive than buying a completed rifle, but I learned a lot doing it this way and I found it quite rewarding.
Next project is an Arisaka series 20.
