Sand it down, heat it until its red hot, then bury it for a week

Hey OP I can help!
Drill a little hole in the bolt (vertically down the bolt, not horizontally) and install a small nail/firing pin
Alternatively spot weld the end and shape in with sandpaper to give it a little firing pin made of weld.

Next you take some metal tubing sealed at one end, line the hollow opening at the back of the bolt. Once lined up install a spring, to test you have done it right pulling the bolt back should compress the spring so letting go of it will make the bolt shoot forward.
On the other end of the assembly (the end where the firing pin goes) install a preferriably riffled barrel you can insert a round into.
Get all this shit stick together but make it look like a replica

Pull the bolt back and lock it into position (the spring should be compressed) and load a round into the barrel. If you've done this correctly then knocking the bolt up should make the spring push the bolt with such power that the firing pin strikes the primer of the bullet sending a projectile down your barrel of choice.

Congratulations, you have a working pop gun that shoots genuine boolits.

Thats not anything like a real bolt-action rifle though

The bolt on a Lee-enfield is actually quite thick, I think that latch may be too thin (unless it's a really huge one)

Replying to myself to tell you that the diameter of the bottom of the cartridge on a Lee-Enfield is 13mm, so the bolt ought to be something like 15mm wide

I know it isn't diy, but I should note that you can easily buy a drill rifle that looks like a real gun but has no complete barrel so even if you wanted to you couldnt convert it

it will be accurate weight however so that might keep it out of the question

I know, he wants a pop gun, I designed a low caliber pop gun.
Bolt actions are fairly simple in mechanics. Just didn't know how to write it without producing essay level writing.
And yes anon actually is autistic.
