Best option for new bolt handle on a 09 argentine mauser

[TroyF]

How do you guys do the bolts on your mausers, I think my buddy has the forging thing for the bolts but think there short unless your stretch or lengthen it. I would prefer to cut it off and weld on a nice new one but only have a fluxcore and arc welder, maybe cut it and have a welding shop weld it?

Please don’t use the arc or flux core welders.
If it were mine, I would get it prepped just how I wanted it, and have it tig welded. I guess you could probably get by with a mig welder.

I have no plans using the welders I've got, even a mig welder I don't think would be to good, I can use a buddies if I need to. I think if I get it were I want, maybe tack it with the mig or make a jig to hold it and have a shop weld it up. I've got a nice brass rod to put in the bolt and a good shop should have heat paste.

I've got to look up now to make the cuts and all, I think you do 45 degree cuts on both to make a 90 and fill that in with weld.

Go to Skips Website, Ive used Skip on more than a few occasions he does great work and his prices in my opinion are very reasonable and has a fast turnaround time. If you search Baldwin Bolt service on the website you will find a pic of a bolt Skip jeweled for my Whitworth while he didn't, mod the bolt you will get an idea his quality

Mark Penrod installs a bolt handle which for my money looks, feels and operates exactly the way a bolt handle should. These are an examples of his work.
