[QUOTE="KS2506, post: 1720039, member: 90958"] It is BS about breaking the bolt and the gun is no good. I have had at least 10 of them repaired my having a friend tig weld the bolt handle back in place. If part of the threads are broken out, you have to be very careful about alining them before welding. The problem was that unlike the 700 which had a piece of the bolt handle that was wrapped around part of the bolt body, they just inserted the stub of the handle into the threaded part of the body and used a furnace brazing technique that was not very good in this application.
