[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 580861, member: 8394"] The general consensus is that a heavy handle is all that is needed. I did one with a 10-22mag spring and it seemed to work just fine. Some guys tried drilling the bolt and adding tungsten rods, but I can't imagine what it would take to put that big of holes in a hardened bolt. I can't off the top of my head remember the exact weight needed but it isnt much. I have shot a few boxes through an action with a rear reciever pin that was stuck without the heavy handle. However skeptical of the heavy handle in the begining, after that it was fairly convincing. 1 box and the pin slid right out, and I wasn't able to pound it out wiht a punch prior to that. My magnum research rig has 1000+ rounds with no problem, the green mountain probably only 500. A buddy has one of the shaw heavy handles and tubes and I'm pretty sure he does well over 2000 rounds a year shooting whistle pigs and its held up just fine. [/QUOTE]
