[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1506212, member: 18849"] The bolt handle could be tig welded & re-profiled. If the bolt is changed out headspace can be adjusted with a new lug (thicker) that is surface ground. Assuming that reamer will clean up radial blemishes with minimal additional depth of cut (.001-.003?). If the chamber has already been polished out & headspace is correct. I would weld up the old bolt to minimize changing other things. Of course the smith's ability will come into play. A good test would be to fire it, insure that it does stick, then wedge a narrow strip of shim stock (.010 or so) between the ramp & action. If it extracts then decisions can be made from there.
