If both the hole and pin are perfectly 3/8 and perfectly straight, then theoretically yes. It is a line to line fit and would be very difficult to assemble. If I did that to the folks I work with on the assembly line I would get lots of unfavorable comments, and learn some new adjectives that could not be repeated in church.. If your interested you can look up recommended hole clearances , depending on the type of fit you want, in a book called the Machinists Handbook. This book has been around much longer than me and has lots of cool stuff in it.
